    You have to make sure that your home directory is not group or other
    writeable, and the .ssh directory is not readable writeable or executable by either group or other and is owned by you. And id_rsa is rw only by user.

    Why do I get this error mesage?

    "Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or
    directory."

    Is there errors on sshd_config?

    Hey, how did you fix this? what permissions did you give to id_rsa? I am getting the same issue.

    You have to make sure that your home directory is not group or other
    writeable, and the .ssh directory is not readable writeable or executable by >> either group or other and is owned by you. And id_rsa is rw only by user.

    -rw------- 1 unruh unruh 1675 May 6 2009 id_rsa

    What command do I need to run to make ./ssh/id_rsa accessible, I have been on it for days

    What are the permissions on your files (ls -la .ssh)
    Your .ssh drectory should be accessible only by you, your home directory
    should be not writeable by anyone but you, and id_rsa should be read/writeable only by you.

    The command to change thing is chmod.

    You are responding to a posting from 2007. They are probably not reading
    any more.

    what permissions did you give to id_rsa? I am getting the same issue.

    You cannot fix ‘no such file or directory’ with permission settings. If
    the file doens’t exist then you need to create it.

    You don't. You send it to the targets you want to log into

    NO! emmat0616 is talking about the PRIVATE key, no .pub suffix, which
    you DONT send ANYWHERE.

    You don't. You send it to the targets you want to log into using the
    command ssh-copy-id. crude example:

    ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $LOGNAME@target.node
