Linux Servers Support / Regular user Can't SSH using public Key but root can

« Last post by Saahib on May 18, 2020, 12:19:59 AM »

Hi,

This is driving me nuts from few days. I have server where I can login as root user through SSH using public key authentication. I then added new user with SSH.

Added new user :

Code: [Select]

adduser  -m newUser
Created password for it :

Code: [Select]

passwd newUser
Added .ssh/authorized_keys with client machines public key (which is I am already using to log into as root from this client)

Code: [Select]

echo "key here from client" >> /home/newUser/.ssh/authorized_keys
I have double checked, triple checked.  Same key works for root login but not for new user.

I tried ssh to ssh with -v ,then last few lines:

Code: [Select]

debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: Next authentication method: password
newUser@server.com's password:

It looks like its my ssh server is not able read publickey ? I can login using password though.

I have done this in past many times, for root and normal user but this time its not working, driving me nuts...

I am sure I am making some tiny mistake.. but where it is ?

Linux Servers Support / Why Borgbackup files in repository are bigger than original file

« Last post by Saahib on May 10, 2020, 08:10:02 PM »

HI,

I just started using borg and something weird I notice. Borg Backup is really nice with all its things but one of the recent backup I see that size of repository is way larger than actual files in it.

I have two files on is 66GB and other is 3.5GB, I uploaded them in a repo of BORG, here is its stats:

Code: [Select]

Original size      Compressed size    Deduplicated size
All archives:              144.23 GB             74.51 GB             31.86 GB

                       Unique chunks         Total chunks
Chunk index:                   21015                47457So what is is , even after compression, its 74GB and there is deduplication data too.

Anyone has got any idea what I am seeing here ?
