Jay, you’re a gem of an educator and I really appreciate the channel you’ve built and all the hard work you’ve done. Thank you.

This was the second ssh tutorial I've taken on UKposts … now I know where I'll look first next time. Thanks for this great session and for covering the security and troubleshooting essentials!

Thank you for this, Jay. I really appreciated your additional info such as the troubleshooting steps and watching the appropriate logs. I would have also appreciated a backup/restore section for the ssh keys. While it's as simple as backing up and restoring the appropriate private/public key pairs, I'd have appreciated having that step included.

@joshmcneil1086 Рік тому

Thank you Jay. I've been using your videos for nearly a year now and I can honestly say that I have grown quite a lot, and much of that is attributable to you and your content. I am very much grateful for your time and tutelage. It has been integral to my learning. I'll be taking the RHSCA soon, and I will be remain a life-time viewer of the channel. All the best to you and yours.

@daveduback7974 3 роки тому

Your videos always take me to the next level. I have been using ssh to access my pi's using keys but now I will harden them by moving away from blank keyphrases and definitely removing password authentication. Thanks for giving me such great perspective!

Thank you for this guide. you have covered all aspects of the tool including troubleshooting. Your lecture is clear and easy to follow.

@TheClembo 3 роки тому

Great video thank you. Followed your instructions with my Synology NAS that wouldn't let me in via ssh without giving a password every time as I wanted to do. The -v on the ssh command helped me see that it was a permission issue for the directory and subsequent 'authorised keys' file. So after changing permissions, well deleting and setting up per your faultless instructions. Bingo -it all now works. Especially liked the 'config' file entry -helps a lot for simplicity. Thanks again. Just bought your new server book too. Cheers, ATB.

@denzilhoff6026 3 роки тому

A small additional detail to your explanation of journalctl. Journalctl uses the "less" command to pipe out the entries. You have all the features you would normally have such as using the forward slash "/" to begin a search. That also means that you can use shift-f to start following the log. Use CTRL-C to stop following.

@TradersTradingEdge 3 роки тому

This was very helpful Jay, thank you very much. I really like your style of explaining, so everybody can understand it. Suggestion for another topic: OpenSSL This Certificate thing is such a Mysterium to me. There are ressources which explain it, but I always feel that I missed something. So it's hard to get the full view on SSL Certificates. For example I run a pfsense. And one of my Browsers (Vivaldi or Chrome) don't accept the ( local? ) Certificate. So it does not encrypt the connection for my understanding. Keep up your fantastic work you do Jay, and thanks very much. Have a great & happy Christmas time.

Made the mistake of deleting /etc/ssh in the server. In it were a few keys I thought belonged to the client. I figured "let's start fresh" pfff! Fortunately I made a copy of the sshd_config. Anyways, later I learned to regenerate the server keys with /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -A I ended up having a better understanding of ssh key relationships. Great video btw.

Thank you Jay, I wanted to suggest that you add "WSL2" into your comments above at around 50:00 min. into your video for all those using WSL2 under Windows 10/11. Just like the Bastion devices you mentioned, WSL2 will not be running ssh-agent and trying to connect to a server using Key Authentication will fail; even though the correct Public Key is on the server and correct Private Key under WSL2. But doing the: eval "$(ssh-agent)" command, and then: ssh-add ~/.ssh/, does make it possible to connect to the desired linux server! Yay!
