[SOLVED] Permissions for ssh keys are too open

Hi

I recently switched back to arch, but this time I completely wiped my old Home partition to start clean.
So I've set up all my configs etc.
Also Im used to manage all my Proxmox VMs/LXCs in terminal via ssh.
Therefore I use the ~/.ssh/config file and ssh Keys.
Never had any problems with that.

But now i get this error .

So i listet all files in ~/.ssh/

kuro@arch ~/.ssh [2]
❯ ls -lah
total 16K

-rw-r--r-- 1 kuro kuro   91 Jan 13 10:18 kuro.pub

❯ 

But its strange that only kuro.pub has 0644 permissions.
So I tried the following.

chmod go-w ~
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/kuro.pub

After this I get the The following error in libcrypto

This is the end of my knowledge.
I don't know what causes this or where to look at.

Re: [SOLVED] Permissions for ssh keys are too open

❯ ssh -i ~/.ssh/kuro.pub kuro@10.0.0.99 -vvv

are you authenticating with a public key? that doesn't work, you should use your private key to auth.
public key goes onto the server and the private key stays on your device to authenticate.

also 644 is good for a public key since it's public. your private key needs to be 600. in theory there doesn't seem to be an issue with setting your pubkey to 600 as well but there's no reason to do it either.

Re: [SOLVED] Permissions for ssh keys are too open

Oh nooooo

Thank you, that totally solved my problem.
I also had set the kuro.pub in the config so this didn't work either.
Now I feel really stupid.

Next time I better save the config file, and don't wipe everything.
