For me, most of the time these issues almost always are related to the
permissions on the .ssh/authorized_keys file or the .ssh directory on the
destination server. For whatever reason ssh -vvv is next to near
impossible to decipher without being a ssh coder, wish there was more
meaningful text in the output of that command.
Concerning the other poster's response to format inconsistency, I've had
very little problem with that. One exception though, when copying the
public key to the .ssh/authorized_keys sometimes errant newlines get
thrown in for good measure.
I don't remember if I've posted this to the list before, but the following
is the slickest way I've seen to forward the ssh public key correctly to
a remote host. It's from a gent named Todd Jacobs who is very good at
shell scripting.

This isn't even worthy to be called a script, but it's a very easy way to
add your ssh key to remote host in a single step. It's made my life quite
a bit easier. :)
# Takes a single argument: the name of the host to install the key
# onto. Will do some rudimentary error-checking to verify that it's
# been given a valid hostname.
function putkey {
[ $# -eq 1 ] || return 1
{ fgrep -q $1 /etc/hosts || host $1 /dev/null; } || return 1
cat $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh $1 'cat .ssh/authorized_keys'
}
I'm quite interested in your problem, Mr. Net Llama. I've got the same
issue going from any linux based host to a Cobalt RAQ and cannot get keys
to work at all.

The servers are all RH-7.3. I thought that all that was required was:
0) on the client box, run ssh-keygen -t dsa, hit enter at all the
prompts, and i'll end up with ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
1) I then need to place the contents of that file on the server in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
2) ssh to the server, and i shouldn't be prompted for a password.
this isn't happening. i'm still prompted for a password. am i missing
something obvious?
For me, most of the time these issues almost always are related to the
permissions on the .ssh/authorized_keys file or the .ssh directory on the
destination server. For whatever reason ssh -vvv is next to near
impossible to decipher without being a ssh coder, wish there was more
meaningful text in the output of that command.
Concerning the other poster's response to format inconsistency, I've had
very little problem with that. One exception though, when copying the
public key to the .ssh/authorized_keys sometimes errant newlines get
thrown in for good measure.
I don't remember if I've posted this to the list before, but the following
is the slickest way I've seen to forward the ssh public key correctly to
a remote host. It's from a gent named Todd Jacobs who is very good at
shell scripting.

Subject: SSH key add function
This isn't even worthy to be called a script, but it's a very easy way to
add your ssh key to remote host in a single step. It's made my life quite
a bit easier. :)
# Takes a single argument: the name of the host to install the key
# onto. Will do some rudimentary error-checking to verify that it's
# been given a valid hostname.
function putkey {
[ $# -eq 1 ] || return 1
{ fgrep -q $1 /etc/hosts || host $1 /dev/null; } || return 1
cat $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh $1 'cat .ssh/authorized_keys'
}
Well, i've made some progress. Oddly, i can ssh one way as root, without
having to provide my password, but i can't ssh the other way as root, or
any other user (even though i've setup the keys the same way for every
account on the boxes).
I'm quite interested in your problem, Mr. Net Llama. I've got the same
issue going from any linux based host to a Cobalt RAQ and cannot get keys
to work at all.
ick. Cobalt RAQ's are absolute crap. Are they still using RH-6.2 on those
things? I've yet to hear of, or experience anything good about them.

Re: A contented linux user
There was a lot of correspondence generated by that essay. It would be nice if all linux advocates bothered to learn to use correct English grammar and spelling, but, such is life. Of more interest was the claim by one fellow that their switch to linux worked great until a couple of guys left who knew linux and then everything fell apart. He even claimed they got hit by viruses. Now, how can viruses affect linux if you are running the boxes properly? This one fellow sounded like he worked for a company that didn't have procedure manuals. In my place of work, a hospital, we have procedure manuals for every conceivable task. IT SEEMS TO ME that MS is giving linux a great opening for at least three reasons: 1. MS is still expensive. 2. MS is still insecure. 3. MS is getting nonstandard. This isn't talked about much, but there are so many version of MS out there (I still use Windows 95 for my desktop machine, works fine.) that windows is in danger of losing that which makes windows so desirable, standardization. There are even different versions of powerpoint for different versions of windows. This is not making MS look good. However, MS makes its money by selling software, and so it has to keep changing its software and forcing its users to upgrade, both software and hardware. MS generated 16 billion in free cash flow in the last 12 months. Their strategy is working fine. I guess people don't see that as excessive. However, imagine if linux could be understood by CEO's to offer a more stable and standard platform than windows. Imagine, Mr. CEO, no more being forced to upgrade because MS needs more money. Upgrade only when you want to and can afford to. Sounds like a good sales pitch to me.

KDevelop: using gdbm
I suppose I'm a jerk for trying to use this without extensive reading first, but I was hoping that KDevelop would be a reasonable environment for building a couple of projects I'm working on. Besides the awkwardness I've always had going from using the command line nearly exclusively for the last 40 years to using a GUI-based IDE, I find I cannot train this beast to let me link with -lgdbm. The Linker Options window does not have a checkbox for gdbm, and putting gdbm in the other spot leads to a failed dependency when make tries to make the target gdbm. I find automake Makefiles completely unreadable (I know, RTFM, but I was looking for easy, not for an education). So the question is this: is there an easy way? Failing that, does anyone find KDevelop to be a reasonable platform for C++ development? Should I just bag it and go back to the command-line? BTW, I was hoping to make this fairly portable, and put it on sourceforge, which is why I was thinking automake and tools like an IDE.
