Re: [Nolug] Getting Public Key Authentication to work with OpenSSH

You're probably using ssh version 2. The default id file for ssh
version 2 is ~/.ssh/id_dsa. To generate one of those,

    $ ssh-keygen -t dsa

Still, you can test with the key that you have by using:

    $ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa

If that doesn't work, check the permissions on the ~/.ssh directory
on both machines. And on the /home directory itself. ssh will not
work if the directories are group-writable, IIRC.

Mark.
