Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)

Question

After creating the instance, I can login using gcutil or ssh. I tried copy/paste from the ssh link listed at the bottom of the instance and get the same error message.

Answer 1

Ensure that the permissions on your home directory and on the home directory of the user on the host you're connecting to are set to 700 ( owning user rwx only to prevent others seeing the .ssh subdirectory ).

Then ensure that the ~/.ssh directory is also 700 ( user rwx ) and that the authorized_keys is 600 ( user rw ) .

Private keys in your ~/.ssh directory should be 600 or 400 ( user rw or user r )
