The CSIF uses commercial SSH, not OpenSSH. First, you'll need to convert your public key to SECSH format. "ssh-keygen -e -f public_key_file" is the tool for this job. Then, on the CSIF, create ".ssh2" in your $HOME, if it isn't already there. Put your SECSH-format public key into $HOME/.ssh2/some_filename and then put the line "key some_filename" into $HOME/.ssh2/authorization. That'll get you set up for public-key authenticated logins to the CSIF. Coming from the CSIF is largely the same process, but in reverse. -- Samuel Merritt OpenPGP key is at http://meat.andcheese.org/~spam/spam_at_andcheese_dot_org.asc Information about PGP can be found at http://www.mindspring.com/~aegreene/pgp/
