Are you using OpenSSH on both ends? OpenSSH and SSH (the original) code the keys differently so you'd need to convert it for the server. They also might use different files/directories under .ssh. SSH (not OpenSSH) has different files for protocol 1 vs protocol 2. In general, if everyone is using OpenSSH, it's easier. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
