Set this up as you suggest, assuming that the files on the remote machine should be, as in the local machine, HOME/.ssh/ Here is what it looks like now: [doctor@minion1 doctor]$ ssh -2 -v dark-lord OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to dark-lord [192.168.100.1] port 22. debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/500 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/500 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/doctor/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/doctor/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_2.9p2 debug1: match: OpenSSH_2.9p2 pat ^OpenSSH Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_2.9p2 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 126/256 debug1: bits set: 1032/2049 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'dark-lord' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/doctor/.ssh/known_hosts2:1 debug1: bits set: 1033/2049 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: kex_derive_keys debug1: newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: done: ssh_kex2. debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try pubkey: /home/doctor/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: try pubkey: /home/doctor/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is password doctor@dark-lord's password: debug1: ssh-userauth2 successful: method password debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: channel_new: 0 debug1: send channel open 0 debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: client_init id 0 arg 0 debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug1: channel request 0: shell debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 16384 I don't seem to be getting any closer.
