I bet $1.89 that you got this wrong. ssh-copy-id will do it for you. You may need to remove the .ssh directory you created. Your instructions are a waste of space. ssh-keygen makes .ssh and keys with correct permissions ! (no need to check) ssh-copy-id creates authorized_keys with the mandatory 0600 permission James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
