Hi All , I went going through the archives but could not really find the solution to my problem. I have installed ssh 2.5.1p1 on my computer and this is what is happening : When I ssh to my comp itself with the same user name as I have logged on as (on my HPUX-11) then there is no problem at all . But when I try to ssh to my comp (from my comp itself) with a different user name, as the one that I have logged on from,then it says that the key is rejected by the server....and it prompts for a password. Why is this happening ? I have done the default configuration..even then..... everything is in order ie....identity, identity.pub and authorized_key are persent where are they are supposed to be.
