One other thing. ssh will ignore the authorized_keys[2] file (even when it's named correctly) if the permissions on it are not set to 600. -Michael >>> meherenow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 03/26/03 05:25AM >>> I've generated the keys, copied the .pub key to the other machine and renamed it authorized_keys in the .ssh directory of the same userid.
