That's all I've ever done but two things to think about: 1) It seems the filename of the auth file changes from time to time. But it probably has to do with the release of openssh. Right now in my ~/.ssh I have both an authorized_keys file and an authorized_keys2 file. 2) Edit your dsa file and look at the very end of the record. You might have a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at the end. You can remove the whole thing I think or at least the @hostname part. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
