Keys in ssh protocol 2 are a pain - unlike ssh1 where the
filenames and file format are standard.
Head over to http://www.stearns.org/ssh-keyinstall/ . Pull down
the latest rpm or tar file and run. You'll need netcat installed on the
system - comes with current distributions as "nc...rpm"
To run it, type "ssh-keyinstall -s the_ssh_server" . It will
install your ssh key to the remote machine in the right format in the
right file. You'll need to type your password on the remote box a number
of times, but that'll be the last times you'll need to type it. :-)
I have some additional articles and resources at:
