I cannot get key-based authentication working. I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty and have previously set this up on other servers, so I cannot see what I'm doing wrong.

Firstly, I upload my public key. Then I create a /home/myusername/.ssh folder (chmod 700) and a /home/myusername/.ssh/authorized_keys file (chmod 600) and cat my public key into that.

Try to connect and it asks for my password.

I've also tried comparing /etc/ssh/sshd_config to the one on another server where key-based access works - the only difference I could see was there was no "AllowUsers" directive in the Gandi file - so I added "AllowUsers myusername@*" and reloaded ssh.

Try to connect and it still asks for my password.

Any ideas what I've missed?

Same for me. Any chance of fixing this (given that no solution is posted)?

Yes, Yes, Yes…. I have the same problem with lennny. Can anyone solve this maybe?

Yes, you can fix it. Install or reconfigure the locales package, verify that the file /etc/default/locale has a LANG directive completed by the locale you use.

Next, change the permissions of the home : chmod 755 ~user

It will work fine, check logs for the errors about the auth on your system (/var/log/auth.log and /var/log/syslog)
