Have you tried making a public key via ssh-keygen?
Thanks Eric, The "------BEGIN" string is I believe from the private key generated using ssh-keygen. If looks like this: ================================================= -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC, XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX... etc. ================================================= where "XXXXX" is the hash of the key. The public key starts with: ================================================= ssh-rsa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...etc ================================================= As I mentioned the same ssh key pair seems to work fine with other servers. -- Regards, Mick
