I have two Ubuntu Server machines sitting at home. One is 192.168.1.15 (we'll call this 15), and the other is 192.168.1.25 (we'll call this 25). For some reason, when I want to setup passwordless login from 15 to 25, it works like a champ. When I repeat the steps on 25, so that 25 can login without a password on 15, no dice. I have checked both sshd_config files. Both have:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
I have checked permissions on both servers:
drwx------ 2 bion2 bion2 4096 Dec 4 12:51 .ssh
-rw------- 1 bion2 bion2 398 Dec 4 13:10 authorized_keys
On 25.
drwx------ 2 shimdidly shimdidly 4096 Dec 4 19:15 .ssh
-rw------- 1 shimdidly shimdidly 1018 Dec 4 18:54 authorized_keys
On 15.
I just don't understand when things would work one way and not the other. I know it's probably something obvious just staring me in the face, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on. Here's what ssh -v says when I try to ssh from 25 to 15:
