Thread: SSH Key authentification failure

if have problems using public key login server.

i've done on client system:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
*keep directory
*entered passphrase twice (about 150 characters)
$ identification has been saved in /home/client/.ssh/id_rsa (and on seemed fine)

copied id_rsa.pub server

on server (in home directory):
$ mkdir .ssh (didn't exists)
$ touch .ssh/authorized_keys
$ id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 700 .ssh/ && chmod 600 .ssh/*

die sshd_config looks this:

code:

if want connect message:

agent admitted failure sign using key.
permission denied (publickey).
