Hi, I have done ssh-keygen on each of my computers connected via eth0. I have copied each ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key into each others ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. I get the following using the command: ssh -vvv brtaylor@<other-computer> gnome-terminal debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to bea [192.168.0.3] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/brtaylor/.ssh/identity type -1 debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/brtaylor/.ssh/id_rsa. debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug1: identity file /home/brtaylor/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/brtaylor/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host debug1: Calling cleanup 0x120027660(0x0) I get the same from the other direction. i.e. both computers give the same message. I am at a total loss. This worked for me w/ssh on Red Hat 6.2. Reading the man pages has not helped at all. BTW firewall allows eth0. TIA Bob -- Bob R. Taylor <brtaylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
