Hi Ken,
Which SSH is this? OpenSSH or SSH.com's SSH? Here's a couple of
things to verify for the SSH.com one:
in ~/.ssh2/ create the following files:
identification (with contents: IdKey id_rsa)
id_rsa (these two created with ssh-keygen)
id_rsa.pub ( " )
on the remote machine, put id_rsa.pub in ~/.ssh2/
and create a file called authorization with the
contents of: Key id_rsa.pub
use the command: ssh -t RSA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And you should be good to go, works for me anyway...
unfortunately, I don't use the openssh stuff, so I can't help you there.
