Hello, i want to connect to another host using: <?php $connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22, array('hostkey'=>'ssh-rsa')); if (ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($connection, 'username', '/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub', '/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa', 'secret')) { echo "Public Key Authentication Successful\n"; } else { die('Public Key Authentication Failed'); } ?> this connection function. so i created a keypair on the host i want to connect to and moved both keys to the other host the webserver runs on. my problem is this function always returns false :/ so for debug reasons, where can i make the sshdemon log every connection attempt? auth.log seems to log only authentication attempts but no connection attempts.
