Unable to authorize with key / password on shell.xshellz.com
3  597 {{tagitem.name}}
Hello everyone.
Something strange is happening - a few days ago I got disconnected from that host and then I cannot login back.

I re-generated ssh keys - id_rsa.pub was uploaded as it supposed to but auth is not working - system keep asking me for the password...

Any ideas why uploading new keys does not solve this problem, even if I enter previous generated password the system tells me "Permission denied, please try again." ?

Thanks in advance..

-t

ps. btw, I also tried to upload new key via host from which I do ssh onto shells. host - it tells me:

>ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]

/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/home/login/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"

/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed

/bin/ssh-copy-id: WARNING: All keys were skipped because they already exist on the remote system.

(if you think this is a mistake, you may want to use -f option)

I have tried -o -f but got no luck - "ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known"
Auth system works fine from our side, can you try to completely remove ssh keys and then re-add them?

Hello StephenS.

Yes, I tried to upload many .pub keys onto my account, old ones, new ones, and most fresh one I made 5 minutes ago - no success at all... Can we talk on IRC at libera.chat - I'll show you my pvt keys I use - or - you'll be able to change my shell account password (not web one, of course) ?

OK, as I changed the password (>_xPanel -- NEW PASSWORD) - I was able to login into shell - then install my own .pub key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and - voila! - I'm logged into by keys exchange, w/o password use :)

Many thanks go to StephenS :) !
