but directly related to a port <smile> Where can I ask questions on mac stuff?
I elaborate: I want password-less ssh login i usually copy the public key by hand, but I also used ssh-copy-id from 1_mac to another from 1_mac to itself from 1_mac to a plethora of linux machines and virtual machines 1_mac cannot login passwd-less to another. Passwd is requested then all is well 1_mac CAN login to itself passwdless 1_mac CAN login to the linux boxes passwdless The logs show nothing of interest (-vvv, not tried to get server logs yet) Google is full of stuff, eg since High Sierra Apple silently enforces a 2048 bit key, but nothing that actually solves the problem Surely someone somewhere has solved the issue And I don’t which way to turn, clearly some apple magic is happening James
