I want to install sshd on my server... I started sshd , generate keys for all users,but everytime I has a message on the client
Permission denied (publickey)

I installed pure archlinux system from CD. And have the same problem on the new archlinux system

but i have trouble with a connection to all my archlinux systems,but no trouble for outgoing ssh connections to router on all of these systems
In /var/log/auth.log there is no any line about trying to connect to the server

You'll need to set PasswordAuthentication to "yes" in your sshd_config to enable
password authentication.

Personally I prefer using DSA keys...but that's a whole other story...

Hi,

It seems like it is unable to find root's private keys:

If they aren't there you may need to create them using the ssh-keygen
command.

You might want to check out these
two documents on SSH which will probably
help alot...

everybody speaks about authorized-key , but i never create it manualy, this is automatical process if there is sshd in your system
i generated keys for root....on a client

If you want to use PublicKey you need to add they key from either id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server.
This is where sshd will look for your public key to try to match it with the private key used by the client.

which program i can login with a password?
I tried password authentication gives the same error...
Some weeks ago I had successful connection with this server and without any flashdrivers, but after updating my system something happened...
maybe change something in /etc/pam.d?
