ssh2 <--> openssh public key authentication

[Rob Mahurin <robm@mad.scientist.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to set up public-key authentication between a SunOS box
("larry") running ssh2 and a dialup Debian box ("peon") running potato
with OpenSSH 1:2.5.2p2-1 compiled from sid.  From larry, the SunOS box,
I can do "ssh peon" without being prompted for a password; however,
running "ssh larry" from peon requires a password.

On peon I have:
	.ssh/config	    containing 	PubkeyAuthentication  yes
				   and	IdentityFile $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
	.ssh/id_dsa{,.pub}   made with	ssh-keygen
	.ssh/peon.pub	     made with	ssh-keygen -f id_dsa -x

On larry I have:
	.ssh2/peon.pub			copied from peon
	.ssh2/authorization containing  Key peon.pub

>From what I understand, I should be able to do "ssh larry" with
public-key authentication, yet I am still prompted for a password.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
