ssh-keygen password prompt

I have a number of servers, Solaris 8 & 9 and Redhat Linux. I use ssh-keygen to allow ssh access to a Linux 9 server without getting a password prompt. Most times this works very easily.

Generate the key on the client - ssh-keygen -t rsa1
It stores the keys in /.ssh/identity and /.ssh/identity.pub

I copy to the identity.pub file to the home directory (~home/.ssh/authorized_keys) on the server I'm connecting to as the user I want to connect


When I try and ssh into that machine as that user, I continue to get prompted. The ssh versions of the two machines are the same. I use this command on all machines.

ssh -oProtocol=1 user@host

The ownership and the permissions are correct.

Any ideas

Thanks

"RSAAuthentication yes" or "Protocol 1" in your sshd_config maybe?

M.

There is nothing in the ssh_config file. Everything is # out. I have 2 solaris boxes that are doing this. This is a Sol 9 x86 box.

Another says.

port 22: Cannot assign requested address (this is a sol 8)

All other machines work fine.

Thanks
Christine

Try ssh -1 -i name_of_identitfile URL
