I hope you don't have a hostkey that matches the machine name higher in the file, which would cause the RSA authentication to fail and fall back to password authentication. Try editing the authorized keys file with your favorite editor and remove all the host keys for the same host. Then, you can append the key and see if it still doesn't work. - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
