[TriLUG] Passwordless SSH

Ron,

Want to post the output of ssh -v remotehost where remotehost is the
host that doesn't work?  Key-based authentication is pretty simple,
right?  Just three parts-

1. allow in config file
2. make sure id_rsa is in ~/.ssh
3. make sure id_rsa.pub is in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

If you can SSH to the machine using a password, perhaps one of these
things isn't right.  You restarted SSH, right?  You're sure that
id_rsa.pub from the working machine is in the authorized_keys file on
the nonworking machine?

James
