Hello, I am running SSH Version 2.0.13 on a Solaris 2.6 system. I am tring to use ssh-add to put my private key in memory so that I might access other machines with providing a password. First I start ssh-agent and verify that it is running using ps. THen I issue ssh-agent $SHELL. I am using a tcsh which is what I see when I do an echo $SHELL. Next I issue ssh-add and I get the message: That is added my /home/clifford/id_dsa_1024_a to memory. The output of ssh-add is now as follows: ssh-add -l Listing identities. The authorization agent has one key: id_dsa_1024_a: 1024-bit dsa, clifft@ketel-1, Mon Jun 26 2000 22:04:52 The problem is that now if I try to ssh to another machine for which I have the same password I am still greeted by a password prompt. I have been looking at the man pages for ssh-add and ssh-key-gen and they all make a reference to a ~/ssh/identity directory. I don't have this but rather I have my public and private keys which are presumably dsa(id_dsa_1024_a and id_dsa_1024_a.pub). Also ssh-gen -u gives an illeagal operation usage message and the only type of encryption that seems supported is dsa. Can anyone give me some feedback or help concerning why if my key is in memory I am still getting a password prompt? Thanks in advance.
