What you really wanted to do was to scp your rsa_id.pub over to the server, and then put the contents of that file into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (or authorized_keys2, depending on the contents of your /etc/ssh/sshd_config). Also, your authorized_keys file should be chmod 600, or 700 at most. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
