Why can I not ssh into a remote RHEL system using my public/private keys and ssh-agent?
On every system I can think of (OS X, Windows/Cygwin, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), I have setup ssh keys using the following method and it has worked great: http://www.cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?Using_SSH_With_Keys Hower, on this one RHEL system I cannot ssh to it without it asking for a password. Here's a transcript of me ssh'ing from my local Ubuntu box to the remote RHEL system (foo): $ ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add && bash' && exit Identity added: /home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_rsa) Enter passphrase for /home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_dsa: Identity added: /home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_dsa) $ ssh -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenSSH_4.6p1 Debian-5ubuntu0.5, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/rwcitek/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to foo [192.168.0.10] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/rwcitek/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/rwcitek/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.3 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.6p1 Debian-5ubuntu0.5 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'stllrd01' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/rwcitek/.ssh/known_hosts:13 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.

Any thoughts as to why ssh is asking for a password?
