I'm having similar problem, only difference being different SSH
softwares between two systems. My end has OpenSSH 3.4:

    OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-0.0woody1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0

And the other system has:

    ssh: SSH Secure Shell 3.0.1 (non-commercial version)

I'm actually quite ignorant with SSH Communications Security Corp's SSH,
so could someone guide me a bit? I tried generating RSA key with
'ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ""' and copying it to this remote server to
directory ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2. But then I noticed, that the remoted
SSH uses ~/.ssh2 and I tried to look up the FILES section of SSH2(1),
for no avail.

What does option '-d' for ssh-keygen do? My ssh-keygen doesn't even know
it; or at least '--help' doesn't show it...
