Thank you. To sum up what you did:
You created the dsa-key as user sandra and copied the public key to sandra's authorized_keys. Now Sandra can ssh from her account to her account on the same machine without a password. What you have to do for passwordless log in, which is rather insecure: Create a dsa- or rsa-key for the user you want to open the ssh connection from, probably your account. Copy the public key to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the machine and account you want to log in. HTH - -- Dirk Raeder I prefer encrypted and signed messages.
