Hi, My two systems are SPARC/Solaris 2.6 & OpenSSH 2.2.0p1. There are host A and B. I created RSA key (~/.ssh/identity, ~/.ssh/identity.pub) and using ssh-agent, ssh-add. This is success. I was able to connect A -> B -> A. I didn't need to input pathphrase. Next, I created DSA key (~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) and using ssh-agent, ssh-add. In this case, I was able to connect A -> B. Don't need pathphrase. But, need pathphrase to connect B -> A. Why? Thanks for your help. My ssh_config and sshd_config are under below. % cat ssh_config Host * RhostsAuthentication no RhostsRSAAuthentication no RSAAuthentication yes DSAAuthentication yes DSAAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication yes FallBackToRsh no UseRsh no CheckHostIP yes StrictHostKeyChecking yes ConnectionAttempts 3 NumberOfPasswordPrompts 3 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity IdentityFile2 ~/.ssh/id_dsa Protocol 2,1 Ciphers 3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc LogLevel INFO ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes XAuthLocation /usr/openwin/bin/xauth BatchMode no Port 22 EscapeChar ~ UsePrivilegedPort yes KeepAlive yes % cat sshd_config Protocol 2,1 ServerKeyBits 768 PermitRootLogin no IgnoreRhosts yes IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes StrictModes yes SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevel INFO RhostsAuthentication no RhostsRSAAuthentication no RSAAuthentication yes DSAAuthentication yes Ciphers 3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc PasswordAuthentication yes PermitEmptyPasswords no UseLogin no MaxStartups 10:30:60 PidFile /var/adm/sshd.pid Port 22 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 HostKey /usr/local/ssh/etc/ssh_host_key LoginGraceTime 600 KeyRegenerationInterval 3600 X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 XAuthLocation /usr/openwin/bin/xauth PrintMotd no KeepAlive yes CheckMail no -- Tomohiro Yamauchi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
