I just recently started a VPS using Fedora.  Upon creation of the VPS I was asked if I wanted to use SSH keys (which I did). Now, to connect as root to the VPS, I do not need to enter a password.Now I want to create a pair (or just reuse the same key) for user1 for use while using ssh.  First I tried to paste the id_rsa.pub folder while logged in as user1 in the  ~/.ssh/ folder. Still asks for password upon sshThen I added a authorized_keys file that was identical to the id_rsa.pub file. Still asks for password upon sshThen I chmod the permissions to the .ssh folder to 644 however, when I try to ssh login as user1.Still asks for password upon sshHow can I use the same public ssh key on a user account that I have for the root account.  Where to I put these files, and what is the difference between having a id_rsa.pub file and an authorized_keys file?
Fedora, where to put my ssh keys to login?
ssh;fedora;ssh keygen
You can use the option -i to specify to ssh which identity file it should use. Also have you checked with ssh - v what really happen? I mean the keys are really not used or are they used but doesn't match?
