Thanks | | that's not really allowed... it could be done, but it would be a kludge... | however, it may not be necessary: | | The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described in the | previous section except that the DSA algorithm is used instead of the | patented RSA algorithm. The client uses his private DSA key | $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa to sign the session identifier and sends the result to | the server. The server checks whether the matching public key is listed | in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 and grants access if both the key is found | and the signature is correct. The session identifier is derived from a | shared Diffie-Hellman value and is only known to the client and the serv- | er. This works for others, but ++NEVER++ worked for me. I did everything according to these man pages but ssh still prompts me for a passwd. I've heard of situations where something works for others, and not for others ;-) -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd., wash@wananchi.com 1st Flr Loita Hse.
