Error when running `ssh-tpm-keygen`: `open /dev/tpmrm0: permission denied` #49

Closed BellaCoola closed 7 months ago

BellaCoola commented 7 months ago

Hello, when I try to run the ssh-tpm-keygen command, I get the following error: open /dev/tpmrm0: permission denied. Is the user executing the command expected to have some special permissions and / or is the user expected to belong to some group (e.g. tss group)?

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

You need to be part of the tss group, but the implementation depends on your distribution.

Thank you very much for the answer. Btw I've encountered this problem on Arch Linux.

I'll close this issue if there isn't more to it.

Sure, thanks. Btw I confirm that after adding the user to the tss group the ssh-tpm-keygen works as expected.
