Hi all, My first post to this list....after googling the web to find the solution. I have 2 box. One running Redhat (OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003) and other Ubuntu(OpenSSH_4.6p1 Debian-5build1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007). I am trying to do password less login _from_ redhat _to_ ubuntu box. It works for different user ID, but not for same user id. i.e If user_A@redhat ssh's to user_B@ubuntu, it works. But when, user_A@redhat ssh'd to user_A@ubuntu, it doesn't work. PS: Home directory is common across box. (NIS ID's) ---log --- $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair.
