Hi all,

Since uptade 1.0.4.20, I cannot login to my jolla via ssh using my public / private rsa keys. My key is correctly registered in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, with correct 0600 permissions. But the ssh server refuses it. It worked before the update.

The key is correctly set up on the client, since I can connect on a remote server without password. This is not a network problem, since I can login just fine if I enter the password. But I want to connect without password, with publickey…

I tried to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but I did not manage to make it work.

I use pub key authentication too but this isn't broken for me at all. Any errors in journalctl?

SSH via key works for me after update.

I have the latest Version (2.0.4.14) and it doesn't work for me. I appended my id_rsa.pub to .ssh/authorized_keys, but I still need to type my password. I need the public key method for automatic mounting of the jolla file system via sshfs.

Ok I found out the problem.

Thank you for journalctl command; I was looking for ssh logs in /var/logs/syslog, but there is no such file.

The problem was /home/nemo, which had write permissions for group.

chmod g-w /home/nemo solved the problem.
