Ed, They're all 644 except for my private key which is 600. > Secondly, did you already set /etc/ssh/sshd_config: > PasswordAuthentication no Yep.

Did not see this on the man page or the web pages I read. I wondered how the transfer would work and did not realize that it should be by password. Changed PasswordAuthentication to yes, stopped/started rc.sshd. Tried ssh-copy-id rshepard@salmo on the Dell with the same failure message as before. Reset PasswordAuthentiation back to no on the server, copied the public key from the Dell to the server's authorized_hosts files via USB flash drive (the modern sneakernet). Now the Dell and server communicate. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
