I recently spent a lot of time trying to figure out why a private key I exported from putty was not working right on Linux. My issue was I kept getting prompted for a password no matter what. <\/p>\n
One clue that may or may not show the issue in the SSHD logs I was NOT seeing \"debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct\" when keyed authentication failed and switched to password. <\/p>\n
I fixed my problem by deleting the public key in the Linux client .ssh folder. So most likely while copying keys from Windows and putty I must have gotten a mismatch on private\/public pair.<\/p>\n
If you need it you can re-create it as follow:
\nrosso@rrosso-VirtualBox:~\/.ssh$ ssh-keygen -y -f id_rsa > id_rsa.pub<\/p>\n
$ ssh root@usli-utility.mgmt.asg.ad
