Clone Ubuntu with openssh-server, Still asking for password

  • 772

I have a Ubuntu virtual machine with ssh installed. (Ubuntu 12 with GUI)

  • I clone it and renew the clone IP address.

  • I want that the Master can have ssh to the clone without asking password.

  • I had set id_dsa.pub and authorized_keys in the clone machine.

However it still ask me password when I try to ssh from the master machine to the clone machine.

Can I have any suggestion? Thanks

    Try to ssh with the -v flag and see what the identification error is.

    ssh -v username@destinationIP

    When you cloned the machine, the program may have regenerated the MAC address in the clone, so it's not recognized as the old one.

    Also, I would advice to recreate the keys, not just copying them.
