Hi David, Thanks for your help with this. I have a feeling that the problem might be the version of openssh?
On Machine A the openssh vers is openssh-2.5.2p2-5 which uses the ssh-keygen -t option but on machine B the vers is openssh-2.1.1p4-1 [root@B /root]# ssh-keygen -d dsa Too many arguments. Usage: ssh-keygen [-lpqxXydc] [-b bits] [-f file] [-C comment] [-N new-pass] [-P pass] Any clues? If I just create a rsa1 key and use ssh -1 i works no probs.
