RE: ssh without password for secvpn [Clue #1]

["Brooks R. Robinson" <brooks.robinson@rides.com>]

| Greetings,
| 	I am trying to set up the secvpn package between two boxes
| (one potato, one
| woody).  I have the secvpn.conf figured out, no problem.  My problem is a
| little more basic.  I can't get ssh to connect without a
| password.  On both
| boxes, I did a 'ssh-keygen' which created my '.ssh/identity' and
| '.ssh/indentity.pub'.  I swapped the '.ssh/indentity.pub' to
| '.ssh/authorized_keys' to each machine.
| 	I try to connect and I am still asked a password.  I've
| tried it with both
| empty passphrases and obnoxious passphrases, and I get the same result
| (password not passphrase).  I've muddled thorough the man pages
| for ssh and
| the vpn-howto, but I seem to be missing the final bit that makes it work.
| Is my problem that I am using a mix potato and woody, or am I just missing
| some configuration.
|
| Thanks,
|

Greetings,
	So I decided to try this from a potato to another potato.  I used
ssh-copy-id to copy the id to the box, and voila; it worked.  So now I have
to reconcile the differences from potato to woody!

Any help?

Thanks,

Brooks
