Ok, this should be easy: I want to log in from CLIENT to SERVER without being asked for a password. On CLIENT, I run: ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 as user "test" and I do not enter a password. Then I copy the .pub portion of that key over to SERVER and save it as /usr/home/jerkoff/.ssh/authorized_keys2 ... note that I save it as authorized_keys2, because it is a dsa key ... then I chmod 0600 authorized_keys2 ... So now I should be able to go to CLIENT and: ssh jerkoff@SERVER and log in with no password, right ? Wrong. I get: % ssh jerkoff@server Password: Response: (I hit enter) jerkoff@server's password: (I hit enter) Permission denied, please try again. So ... what am I doing wrong ? thanks. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
