Re: where is the howto

[Marc Bernstein]

Right after I sent my query, I finally  figured out what I needed to concerning how to set up authorized_keys2 with a 'copy' of the id_rsa.pub file (instead of the commercial ssh2  version). It would be great to find a good discussion of the differences and how to get them to interoperate.

I have an ssh2 client also and would like it to log into my openssh connection.

I assume one generates the public key on the client and copies it to the authorized_keys2 file as before where the way the key is generated may be different?

Also, I was able to get this to work from an openssh client using rsa. However the ssh2 client used dsa and first attempt to copy the public key to authorized_keys2 did not result in a succesful logon using PubKeyAuthorization..

Thanks,

Marc
