Setting up SSH access on local machine for a project.

When I ssh -v localhost my connection gets refused. With the following stack-trace.

OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/Kyle.Welsby/.ssh/config debug1: Applying options for localhost debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug1: Connecting to localhost [::1] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /Users/Kyle.Welsby/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/Kyle.Welsby/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /Users/Kyle.Welsby/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

My ssh configuration is the standard Mac OS X setup. With the following alterations.

# /etc/sshd_config PermitUserEnvironment yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys # ~/.ssh/config Host localhost User Kyle.Welsby

  • what does your authorization server log say? It would be in /var/log/auth.log in Linux, not sure about Mac OS. Also, shouldn't AuthorizedKeysFile say %h/.ssh/authorized_keys ? Commented Feb 3, 2011 at 16:45
  • the issue happend to be PermitUserEnvironment yes commented this out and all worked fine-ish. Commented Feb 4, 2011 at 14:38
  • You outlined the solution yourself. So post your solution as answer and accept it. Did you really use IPv6 for that localhost connection? Commented Jan 12, 2012 at 22:03
