How to create new user with Public key authentication?
Solution 1:
You need to store his public key in ~john/.ssh/authorized_keys
as described in manual page for sshd
(good place to start). Also you need to make sure the ~john/.ssh/
directory is owned by john
and has 0700
permissions and ~john/.ssh/authorized_keys
also with permissions 0600
.
Then the user should be able to log in.
