Didja save after importing your RSA key? Didja try connecting to www2 first before the other server? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like it should work with both, not just one.
It's free software, so use the Source, Luke!!! ;) Ya might wanna post to the putty-dev mailing lists, too.

My only problem is that I haven't really figured out the putty authentication agent, or at least how to work with agent forwarding when using Putty. Here is what I did: 1. Ran the putty agent and imported my OpenSSH RSA key. 2. The putty agent prompted for my key password, which I entered and the agent accepted. 3. Right-click the agent, go to Saved Sessions, and choose a server that always worked with ssh and key-agent. 4. Putty opens and logs me right in: Sent username "root" Authenticated using RSA key "XXX" from agent 5. Here is where things go messy: serverXX# ssh www2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: I should NOT be getting a password prompt. I should just slide right in. What's up? Like I said, I am used to using ssh and ssh-agent rather than Putty, so I don't doubt I'm doing something wrong. --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Puryear Information Technology, LLC <http://www.puryear-it.com> Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
