My guess is that your son disabled password authentication, which is a fairly common thing to do. You can confirm with your son. Tell him you are going to stop letting him do his laundry at your house if he fails to cooperate. host A ssh client connects to host B's ssh server If I have guessed correctly, you'll need to put your public ssh key from host A on host B. On the host B, you'll need a file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Into that, put the contents of any public ssh key you want to allow access, e.g. ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from host A. The authorized_keys file can contain more than one public key. Since you don't have remote access to B over the network, you may need to move the public key using a usb drive. Or maybe you can find a floppy drive! (joke) Let's assume for the moment that you don't have a public ssh key already. You can create one with the ssh-keygen program on host A. This will create both the private key and the matching public key. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
