problem getting key-based ssh login to work

hi folks,

Great project -- thanks!

I'm having trouble getting key-based ssh login to work...

I installed from Debian Wheezy using the instructions at
http://phpbb.openmediavault.or…58230e334a7a38e159a2569cf

Then I enabled ssh using the web UI, and added my key
both under ~/.ssh and over the web UI.

I can log in via password, but not with the key:

$ ssh -v localhost

Any ideas?

thanks

as far as I can see the /etc sshd config should allow key-based login, so adding the key via the webgui should be redundant... nevertheless it doesn't work

I tried splitting the AuthorizedKeysFile directive into one per file and restarting the service but that didn't work.

I got it to work by adding my pub key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file manually

Sorry I couldn't debug it further; thanks for your help!
