you are correct. The keys here are for the remote user on the remote machine. The required file on the remote end are : authorized_keys and known_hosts . The important perms are the dir, and authorized_keys and known_hosts > [EMAIL PROTECTED] bhughes]$ sudo grep -i auth /etc/ssh/sshd_config > Password: > #SyslogFacility AUTH > SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV > # Authentication: > #RSAAuthentication yes > #PubkeyAuthentication yes > #AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys the same.. this has to be uncommented on both or only on the remote?! sshd_config is on the remote end. the comments show the default settings and really doesn't need to be uncommented under normal circumstances. try to login using ssh -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] and post the output.
