You need to start an ssh-agent on the machine you're connecting from and
populate it with your keychain:
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add
Add the above to your .profile, or check the Linux PAM implementation to
see if it has ssh

It's not asking for your password. It's asking for your passphrase to
decrypt your private key. Are you running an ssh-agent on the Suse
system?

Aha! Thanks, Kevin. Things are clicking in my brain and I grok now. I just
remembered that when I did ssh-keygen on my mac

the answer to my dilemma. Is it generally kind of a pain to do this between

look at your permissions in ~/.ssh on the freebsd box. Make sure your home
directory does not have insecure permissions and .ssh + all the files in
there are not writable by anyone else.
No worries there. Thanks.
That made it possible for me to ssh from SuSE server to FreeBSD server,
but now when I ssh from my Mac to SuSE server it wants a password now:
ssh-agent holds your keys in memory for you, and provides them to remote
systems when needed. You need to run it on each system you log in to.

Hi Gavin,
From your Suse, try to run the ssh commando with -v or even -vv or -vvv
to get debugging output.
If you can't figure out what the debugging output wants to tell you, send
it to the list.
But complete, copy 'n' paste please :)

DOn't you have a local IT helpdesk? This is pretty basic stuff that they
should have documentation for.
Well, I admit I still have more things to learn, even though I've been the
