Until here... debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: userauth_pubkey_agent: testing agent key /home/scowles/.ssh/id_dsa debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: input_userauth_pk_ok: pkalg ssh-dss blen 1202 lastkey 0x8091738 hint -1 debug2: input_userauth_pk_ok: fp 0e:ec:44:23:63:2c:07:3c:9c:2d:dd:42:37:ed:a9:20 debug1: ssh-userauth2 successful: method publickey debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] Are you sure the permissions on your .ssh directory and the files beneath are correct? EX: [scowles@voyager .ssh]$ pwd /home/scowles/.ssh [scowles@voyager .ssh]$ ls -la total 56 drwx------ 2 scowles scowles 4096 Mar 9 18:05 . drwx------ 66 scowles scowles 4096 Mar 9 19:03 .. -rw------- 1 scowles scowles 13133 Nov 11 17:24 authorized_keys -rw-r--r-- 1 scowles scowles 911 Jan 6 14:27 known_hosts Another possibility could be the key from your RH7.2 system is incompatible with the RH9 version of ssh. Try and create a new key and if that works. Steve Cowles -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
