Howdy !

ssh login works for all distros except for coreos. Do I need to use a specific algo or a certain key length for coreos ?

Thanx,
Matthias

    I can’t login either. This is what I’m typing. :/

    ssh core@1.2.3.4

    But, all I get is: “ssh: connect to host 1.2.3.4 port 22: Operation timed out”. (Obviously, 1.2.3.4 is my droplet’s IP address.)

    I clicked the button to add my id_ecdsa.pub key to the server.

    For me, I tried to login as [core] user, and failed to get in.

    No response from my droplets, saying “Connection timed out”.
    I also added my SSH pub key to my account.

    What’s wrong with me?

    Thanks,
    Joshua

    Run ssh with the ’-v’ flag to see where it fails. Could be that your access rights are wrong.
    On your DO instance it should look like this:

    269268 4 drwx—— 2 core core 4096 Dec 18 18:58 .ssh

    ls -l .ssh/
    total 4
    -rw——- 1 core core 397 Dec 18 18:58 authorized_keys

Your existing SSH keys should work fine on CoreOS. What user are you connecting as? Try using core instead of root.

I have the similar problem.

It stucks at expecting SSH2MSGKEXDHGEX_REPLY.

When i switch to the ‘core’ user, It stucked again!
