The log on BSD reads as follows: [snip debug] In PUtty: * put your username in the "Auto-login username" box in the connection settings * put the path to your key into the "Private key file for authentication" box in the SSH settings On the machine you're trying to SSH into: * put the same key into a text file called ~/.ssh/authorized_keys Obviously you need to have generated a key that doesn't ask for a passwprd for this to work. I hope this help. Ask more if it doesn't. Cheers, -- Mark Drayton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
