Is there a reason you didn't want to use dsa keys? I have DSA keys running
fine using OpenSSH2.9p1-1 on RedHat 6.2 and 7.0.
On the client side: from /home/username/.ssh, I ran ssh-keygen -t dsa
On the host side: I appended the contents of the client's id_dsa.pub to
/home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys2
I noticed Pascal B. had a problem wherein he had to force protocol 2 as the
default. I haven't had that problem, but I don't know what version of
OpenSSH he's running.
