Title: RE: SSH key authentication

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

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

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 ?
