I did a fresh install of Yarrow, but copied a lot of config files (like samba and my firewall scripts) including most of my /home partition from a RH9 install. I made new public/private key pairs, created my new ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, and eventually copied my /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file from RH9... Everyone is set up to use ssh-agent and public key authentication, but the Fedora computer refuses to do so. No matter what I do it always prompts me for a password. Is there something about Fedora that would prevent this, or should this question be directed at an Open-SSH forum?
