Ubuntu 22.04 SSH the RSA key isn't working since upgrading from 20.04
Up until last week I was running Ubuntu 20.04 happily, and then over the weekend decided to back everything up and install 22.04. I've had a couple of teething issues which I've solver, however I'm having real issues with SSH. I have two first generation WD MyCloud drives which handle all my backups and files both on and away from home. I can still connect to the shares with no problems, however I need to SSH onto both drives in order to run maintenance, backup between cloud drives, etc.
Initially I couldn't gain SSH access at all after upgrading, however the one-fix at this website worked. I can now connect via SSH and entering a password.
However with Ubuntu 20.04 I had set up a passphrase so that various autyomated scripts that I use using rsync could copy between cloud drives and also between Ubuntu and the cloud drive shares. This was working until I upgraded, now the scripts continually ask me for my password and I can't figure out how to stop it.
What I was originally doing was running
ssh-keygen -b 4096
to generate a passphrase and then
ssh-copy-id root@server
to copy the passphrase across
If I then entered
ssh root@server
it simply connected without asking to my password.
I know this is going to be due to my cloud drives only supporting the now insecure SSH, but I cannot upgrade it to a more secure one (unless someone knows how - I would prefer to do this to be honest). My maintenance scripts can make up to 20 connections over a period of hours, and to have to sit and constantly enter the password is becoming a pain.
Can anyone help me get my remote rsync commands working again so they don't keep asking me for my password
The terminal outputs as I run through these are
colin@colin-desktop:~/.ssh$ ssh-keygen -b 4096
Generating public/private rsa key pair.

[email protected]'s password:
How this originally came about was that I needed to be able to rsync to and from a remote location without the need for a human intervention regarding security. The instructions I was given were to use ssh-keygen to generate public/private keys and then ssh-copy-id to copy the public key to the remote host. I've just reinstalled 20.04 on another machine and used this successfully and the rsync is working without the need for a password. However if I clear the keys on the server out, reinstall 22.04 and do the same, it still prompts me for the password. I've updated my question to show the output of the commands as they are being run on Ubuntu 22.04 with the server name obscured for obvious reasons.
The Terminal output of rsync -vvv follows

Cause
The RSA SHA-1 hash algorithm is being quickly deprecated across operating systems and SSH clients because of various security vulnerabilities, with many of these technologies now outright denying the use of this algorithm.
It seems this has happened for the ssh
client in Ubuntu 22.04. The RSA public-private key pair is considered not safe any more.
Solution
Use a more modern and secure type of key such as ed25519
. Generate a new key pair in your Ubuntu 22.04 computer with this command:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "colin@colin-desktop"
Note: the string after -C
is a comment it is customary to put your email address here. Since you may only be using this key within your home, putting the email address may not make sense. I would put something like "colin@colin-desktop" so that you know which user and computer the key belongs to within your household.
Alternately you may create a new RSA key with SHA2 hashing like so:
ssh-keygen -t rsa-sha2-512 -b 4096
Either way you will need to use the ssh-copy-id
command again:
ssh-copy-id [email protected]
This command will recognize there is a new public key and copy the new key to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
file.
It should work now.
A Remote Server Workaround
If you can't change anything on the local computer, or don't want to use a new key, and want to re-enable RSA on the local computer, edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config
on the remote computer and add this line:
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
This will allow the use of unsafe RSA key you already have.
Remember to restart the sshd service by:
sudo systemctl restart sshd
Otherwise you will have to restart your computer to make the change take effect.
References
- SSH-RSA key rejected with message "no mutual signature algorithm"
- OpenSSH 8.3 released (and ssh-rsa deprecation notice)

Hope this helps
