Actually, this is the best I've ever seen. I see now why linux is much better than windows. I was thinking of installing debian but this tutorial changed my mind. I will go with Ubuntu and make it sharp with this "bible". I think that you are the super-hero of all noob sysadmins! Hey,

Damn, I cocked up here. Really sorry everyone. Dunno why but I left out some important steps. What a bozo :P It should all be working fine now. Thank you for for bringing this to my attention. @Ashesh & @Breaker .. thx very much.

Thanks a lot of such a useful guide. Just got an error while setting up public key so thought to inform you. It seems only copying the whole text of public key works rather "NB As I said above, ensure that, at the end of the key code, you did not include the text beginning rsa-key-." instructed by you. I might be wrong because I have been trying for last two hours. Another thing I did was "chmod 700 .ssh". I do not know if any one of them or both made the thing work. Thanks again for this bible.

I'm decently linux literate, but Putty/SSH/RSA and "live server" green. I believe I followed every step in this chapter to a T, but not without snags. as root: When attempting chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys I get a: chmod: cannot access '/root/.ssh/authorized_keys': No such file or directory Any thoughts? Should I replace '~/' with '/home/'? I attempted that... and continued - the new PuttyCLI resulted in a "The server refused our key" response. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Guvnr, a million thanks for this guide… very useful.

as root: When attempting chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
I get a:
chmod: cannot access ‘/root/.ssh/authorized_keys’: No such file or directory

Any thoughts? Should I replace ‘~/’ with ‘/home/’?

I attempted that… and continued – the new PuttyCLI resulted in a “The server refused our key” response.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

There are some things that should be done in order, others won't matter. If you are in any doubt, I advise you go in order. Then again, in your case, it *sounds* like you needn't reinstall MySQL. Then again, again!, for the sake of a couple of hours, from A-Z, you could learn a lot from going in order and having less headache along the way .. follow the guide word for word, and there will be no headache, it's all thoroughly tested. Re Part 5, openSSH can be set up in many ways but, jolly convenient, you can share your private key between local machines, or even on a storage card for convenience. Just read the security caveats I've mentioned, er, in Part 6 as well I think. If you have specific problems let me know. Also, for Debian, the Ubuntu forums are your friend. Great community there. @Tarak .. big tx, most kind of you, Sir.
