I prefer to use ssh-agent/ssh-add -or- pageant.exe if using Putty from a windows based client. Nonetheless, I just created a null passphrase key and successfuly logged in (without being prompted for a passphrase) using this key. This was on a RH9 based system running openssh-3.5p1-11. Example: 1) Using puttygen, I created a 1024 bit ssh2 dsa based key. Did not enter a passphrase. 2) Cut/paste the open ssh public key that is shown at the top of the puttygen dialog box to the ssh server in my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file. 3) Saved the private key to the putty directory as id_dsa1.PPK 4) Started putty.exe and loaded the session profile I setup for this server and changed the private key file (under SSH->AUTH) to use the null passphrase key saved in step 3. 5) Connect to ssh server. That's it!!! Hope this helps Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
