Resolve a ssh public key connectivity issue
Authored by: musenut on Jan 10, '10 08:11:11AM

I am having an ssh connectivity issue with a iMac running 10.5.8. We had a G5 in the office that we were able to set up to remotely access from behind the firewall by opening port 22 and setting up remote login. The iMac however refuses to let us connect. We enabled remote login on the iMac, gave it the G5's old IP address that worked over port 22, and set it's firewall open to all incoming connections. I repaired permissions but connection is still refused. Can I use this method of "tailing the secure.log file on the machine you're connecting to" for troubleshooting this problem? And if so - can someone walk me thru it step by step because I know very little about unix commands and using terminal.

Any help much appreciated!
