copy the authorize-keys to authorize-keys2
and create a config file (man pages) and maybe even a .shosts file(man pages)

Subject:  SSH key authentication


I am a new OpenSSH user. 
I need help with OpenSSH. I am able to use password authentication with no
problem, but if I try to use the client keys it always
defaults to password authentication. I created an identity.pub, id_rsa.pub,
and id_dsa.pub and copy all 3 to the authorize-keys
file on the remote host in my userid's .ssh directory. If I execute an ssh
-v remotehost it only works with the password authentication, it does not
try the keys.
The sshd_config file includes RSAAuthentication and DSAAuthentication yes
on the remote host.


I am using all defaults for the ssh_config file for the client. 
The sshd_config support both ssh1 and sh2. 
What am I doing wrong ?

Did 
you add anything to change the order of the authentication?
