You didn't say what version of ssh you are running. If you are running OpenSSH
v2.x than you may have a problem with your protocol line. By default, it will
use 2,1. This means it will connect using the version 2 protocol first, if
possible. If it does, then it will use either the rsa or dsa public/prvate keys
and look in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.
The easiest way is to see if you are using 2 or 1, is to run ssh -v -v -v
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This should show which protocol was used, or whether it is a
file permissions problem. If you still insist on v1 protocol, I would recommend
2 instead, you can force this in your ~/.ssh/config file by setting 'Protocol 1'
for your Host a.b.c stanza.
If you still can't get it to work, send the output of the ssh -v -v -v to the
list and someone should be able to help.
