For some reason, of which I have no idea, it worked later on when I restarted the computers and tried it again.
I had run reload, stop and start on both computers, and even shut them down a few times, but it still didn't work, until later in the evening, when I restarted the computers in my test lab. Now, I have to stop and start the server client to get it to initialize a new session. reload and restart don't work on /etc/init.d/ssh I imagine that's just a minor bug. Just one question. When I ssh into the server, it asks me for a password. Not knowing what password it wanted, my best guess was to enter the server's sudo password and it worked. Is that appropriate behaviour for key authentication? considering the following info. (Later I noticed that my PasswordAuthentication [in the sshd_config in first email] was set to yes, and I changed it to no) Thanks On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 4:58 PM, David Kaiser <dkai...@cdk.com> wrote: > Are the following instances of 'ubuntu' the same machine?
