Talk:OpenSSH/Logging and Troubleshooting

Since this page uses logging in the context of troubleshooting, the term troubleshooting should be added to the title. So I propose to rename the page to "Logging and Troubleshooting" so that the scope is more clear. Larsnooden (discuss • contribs) 15:56, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

3.2.1 Server refused our key
I'm not able to duplicate the problem using the OpenSSH client. The normal behavior is for it to say nothing about failed keys and to then fall back to the next authentication method, which is usually a password. Is there any log information that you can provide, from either the OpenSSH client or OpenSSH server, to identify the problem so that this part fits in this Logging and Troubleshooting section? It may be a better fit in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/Authentication_Keys#Basics_of_Public_Key_Authentication otherwise, but having the right permissions for authorized_keys is already mentioned there.

 * ✅ + "Server refused our key" is the exact message returned by PuTTY. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:00, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Confusing chroot reference
I think it's unclear if "Logging the built-in sftp-subsystem inside a chroot jail needs a /dev/log node to exist inside the jail." refers to a chroot within which the whole openssh process is running, or if it refers to the ChrootDirectory-stanza in sshd_config. There are to few available usernames (discuss • contribs)


 * It refers to the latter, the ChrootDirectory-stanza in sshd_config. How is the page now?  Larsnooden (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
