I'm new to Debian and the sshd2 setup is slightly different to what I am
used to.
According to the man pages, on the sshd2 server, I should have a file
$HOME/.ssh2/authorization which contains pointers to the files in
$HOME/.ssh2 which contain the public keys for the user wishing to
authenticate.
My $HOME/.ssh2/authorization files looks like:
Key id_rsa1.pub
Key id_rsa2.pub
Key id_dsa.pub
and the files are:
~/.ssh2# cat id_rsa1.pub

The /etc/ssh2/sshd_config files has the following line:
AllowedAuthentications publickey,password
The problem is that the ssh server ignores these pubkey files and calls
for password authentication, which is what I don't want to happen.
Where might I be going wrong? I suspect the authorization file might be
wrong, but not by how I read the man page for ssh2.
