SSH Key: “Permissions 0644 for 'id_rsa.pub' are too open.” on mac
I generate a ssh key pair on my mac and add the public key to my ubuntu server(in fact, it is a virtual machine on my mac),but when I try to login the ubuntu server,it says:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Permissions 0644 for '/Users/tudouya/.ssh/vm/vm_id_rsa.pub' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
bad permissions: ignore key: /Users/tudouya/.ssh/vm/vm_id_rsa.pub
Permission denied (publickey,password).
I have tried many ways to solve this, change the key file mode, change the folder mode,as some answer on stackoverflow,but it doesn't work.
the key file permission:
vm dir:
drwxr-xr-x 4 tudouya staff 136 4 29 10:37 vm
key file:
-rw------- 1 tudouya staff 1679 4 29 10:30 vm_id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 tudouya staff 391 4 29 10:30 vm_id_rsa.pub
please give me some idea...
=========================================
I write the host infomation to ssh_config:
Host ubuntuvm
Hostname 10.211.55.17
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile /Users/tudouya/.ssh/vm/vm_id_rsa.pub
I run command "ssh -v ubuntuvm",it displays:
ssh -v ubuntuvm

Answer
I suggest you to do:
chmod 400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
It works fine for me.
