Title Body

I added the public SSH key to the authorized_keys file. ssh localhost should log me in without asking for the password. I did that and tried typing ssh localhost , but it still asks me to type in the password. Is there another setting that I have to go through to make it work? I have followed the instructions for changing permissions: Below is the result if I do ssh -v localhost . debug1: Reading configuration data /home/john/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/john/.ssh/identity type 1 debug1: identity file /home/john/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/john/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu3 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu3 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu3 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'localhost' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/john/.ssh/known_hosts:12 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/john/.ssh/identity debug
