That all went well. Afterwards, I set up the logging. I'm noticing the following error from the console: Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil sshd[1956]: error: key_read: uudecode AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAKLAJVTvYOqi5bVYEyahzSTrb0L4JbLGhtiNGEXQr/pqWcTxBoicc1/EJt0MCirV3+A63smW4e7sfeZQhcKkwvL6MrSqc2wKSmJfPkV5GY/zwFiRLcsuNRWtd9Zgg8/mWhp5fZlZ6M81Cz\n failed Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil kernel: Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil sshd[1956]: error: key_read: uudecode AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAKLAJVTvYOqi5bVYEyahzSTrb0L4JbLGhtiNGEXQr/pqWcTxBoicc1/EJt0MCirV3+A63smW4e7sfeZQhcKkwvL6MrSqc2wKSmJfPkV5GY/zwFiRLcsuNRWtd9Zgg8/mWhp5fZlZ6M81Cz\n failed Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil sshd[1956]: error: key_read: uudecode AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAKLAJVTvYOqi5bVYEyahzSTrb0L4JbLGhtiNGEXQr/pqWcTxBoicc1/EJt0MCirV3+A63smW4e7sfeZQhcKkwvL6MrSqc2wKSmJfPkV5GY/zwFiRLcsuNRWtd9Zgg8/mWhp5fZlZ6M81Cz\n failed Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil sshd[1956]: Accepted publickey for john from 62.49.247.174 port 55327 ssh2 Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil kernel: Nov 10 17:19:43 lentil sshd[1956]: error: key_read: uudecode AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAKLAJVTvYOqi5bVYEyahzSTrb0L4JbLGhtiNGEXQr/pqWcTxBoicc1/EJt0MCirV3+A63smW4e7sfeZQhcKkwvL6MrSqc2wKSmJfPkV5GY/zwFiRLcsuNRWtd9Zgg8/mWhp5fZlZ6M81Cz\n failed It doesn't seem to stop sshd from working, but it's annoying nonetheless. I did a quick google, and found someone describing the same problem at https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1525 but they say this was fixed in OpenSSH 4.7. - that URL is the latest report of the problem. I'm running a much later version: sshd: OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 Can anyone help me with a fix/workaround? thanks -- John
