Description of problem: In session "2.1. Making an SSH Key" just says to make the following command "chmod 700 ~/.ssh" to take the appropriate permission on the key and .ssh directory. But sometimes is necessary to run another command to take appropriate permission on the key. The command is: "chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id*" ***So it could be put in the guide.*** Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Revision 0.3.7 How reproducible: In my case just runnnig "chmod 700 ~/.ssh" was not enough to me. I got the following message when trying to have access the CVS: [diego@Rasther FEDORA]# chmod 700 ~/.ssh [diego@Rasther FEDORA]# cvs -z9 co translate/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Permissions 0666 for '/diego/.ssh/id_dsa' are too open. It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored. bad permissions: ignore key: /diego/.ssh/id_dsa Enter passphrase for key '/diego/.ssh/id_dsa': Each time I put my password the same message was displayed again. (3 times) So I have had to run "chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id*" to fix the problem.
AFAICT, this only happens if you copy your key from another location without setting the permissions properly. When you create a brand new key as the instructions say, the proper permissions are automatically applied (700 for ~/.ssh/ and 600 for ~/.ssh/id_dsa). By the way, you actually don't need to remove permissions for the public key; 644 is the appropriate permission for ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
Hi Manuel, could you have a look and unjam this bug? Thanks.
Manuel, I just have completed splitting job of this guide. Please cvs up, so that you can get updated fileS. Now quick-start-guide/en_US/ directory contains multiple files based on chapter. For this bug, you should be able to edit Accounts_And_Subscriptions.xml file. There may be some people modifying the files, it would be better to send a memo into fedora-trans-list/fedora-docs-list. Once you update, could you also kindly make a comment at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Tasks/TQSG? Thank you so much! noriko
Created attachment 181401 [details] Patch for Accounts_And_Subscriptions.xml file I have created a patch for that file if it's interesting. Thanks
Hi Diego Thank you so much for your patch. Do you mind if I ask you to apply your patch as update into that file? Many thanks noriko
Hi, Nokiro. It's done! I have committed the changes to the CVS. Now, Paul will check out it and I hope everything is OK. Thank you
Diego and Paul, Thank you very much! Now TQSG 0.3.8.1 en_US is up online.
