Much like a few recent posts, I am trying to get key auth working.  In 
fact, I've done it several times before, but I can't remember how I got it 
to work.  I'm sure that I'm missing something simple, so I'll post the 
entire process that I use.

BTW, will messed up DNS cause it to use passwords instead of keys?  Empty 
passphrases wont mess it up, will they?  (I'm only using empty ones for 
testing).

(Openssh 2.9p2 & Redhat 7.0 on both sides)

NOTES: - box that you want to log INTO, is SERVER.
        - box that you want to run ssh or scp FROM, without using password, 
is CLIENT

#FROM CLIENT:

#generate key (once), use defaults (rsa1, .ssh/identity, no passphrase, etc.)
ssh-keygen

#copy public key to server
scp .ssh/identity.pub SERVER:/root/CLIENT.identity.pub

#start ssh-agent the correct way.
eval `ssh-agent`

#tell agent about our private key
ssh-add .ssh/identity

#FROM SERVER:

#allow public key, (does NOT go in authorized_keys2 file)
cat CLIENT.identity.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

That is the process I do to setup key auth.  What is it missing?  Here is 
what I get when I test it:

(Of special note, IMHO, is:
debug2: userauth_pubkey_agent: no keys at all
debug2: userauth_pubkey_agent: no more keys
debug2: userauth_pubkey_agent: no message sent
)

Thanks for any light you can shed!

a developer-oriented archive.
