Are there any reasons to get a pubkey denied after you run ssh-copy-id onto your server? I’ve already restarted the sshd service but I still get pubkey denied after I copied my ssh I.D. to my server. I am thinking about just removing all the keys I have on the server and re-adding them but I was hoping someone else may have an idea before I do that. Thanks!

EDIT: OKAY. I fixed it. I appreciate all the help I received. I still really could not figure out what the actual issue is. But I did have some extra ssh keys that I wasn’t using from old machines and after I deleted those and readded my key everything seems to work

    did you verify to use the correct corresponding private key?

    You can specify the keyfile with the -i option if i remember correctly

    Also: Make sure that the user you ran “ssh-copy-id” against on the remote machine is also the user you’re trying to log in with.
