Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my ssh client (openssh 2.3p1) to authenticate
using rsa.
if I simply:
ssh host.company.com
I get the password prompt back.
if I:
ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/identity host.company.com
it logs me in via rsa authentication as expected.
>From the man page:
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for
RSA
authentication is read. Default is $HOME/.ssh/identity in
the
user's home directory. Identity files may also be
specified on a
per-host basis in the configuration file. It is possible
to have
multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in
config-
uration files).
I have also cput the line:
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity in my .ssh/config file. Didn't help.
I guess I can live with the problem, but it bothers me.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
wilson
