I agree; it's no fun to just give up!  It should work.

Here's what I have on my laptop (which is what I carry around everywhere
and is the local side of things):

doozer:~% ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-4, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090607f
doozer:~% ls -la .ssh
total 48
drwx------    2 vineet   vineet       4096 2003-01-17 17:22 ./
drwxr-xr-x   80 vineet   vineet       4096 2003-02-15 12:28 ../
-r--------    1 vineet   vineet        963 2002-09-13 19:49 identity
-rw-r--r--    1 vineet   vineet      29082 2003-02-14 11:30 known_hosts
-rw-r--r--    1 vineet   vineet         15 2002-09-03 17:00 options
doozer:~% head -4 .ssh/identity
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,99FDB9028C056429

doozer:~% cat .ssh/options 
ForwardX11 yes
doozer:~% grep -v '^#' /etc/ssh/ssh_config




That is, it's empty; there are no uncommented lines there.  Also, I
cat-ed .ssh/options just to show there's nothing special in there.  The
ForwardX11 statement is unrelated.  So I did no setup on the client
side, save generate an rsa key and put it at ~/.ssh/identity .

Here's what I have on a remote host to which I can connect using my key:


Thalia:~% ls -la .ssh
total 10
drwx------   2 vineet   dba          512 Dec  3 15:35 ./
drwxr-xr-x  14 vineet   other       1024 Feb  7 15:33 ../
-rw-------   1 vineet   dba          236 Nov 26 11:31 authorized_keys
-rw-r--r--   1 vineet   dba         1725 Feb 11 14:24 known_hosts
Thalia:~% cat .ssh/authorized_keys 
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAIEA3QejohPKVWiC5dgyhcX1R41j10gCDXXHKu0II3I1S54UbB3bOh1ugyyZKADFtbjWTAk2944Z/s0yfM5gIhxkr5QyDM0Lg86MijcZE76NTSa6YZ7hRDfrxGFjGh1CcUL7ZuL/82wCc+kUw1cu3EWdxoi78lxZUa62/aQRrYa4SE0= /home/vineet/.ssh/identity
Thalia:~% ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090607f
Thalia:~% grep -i keyauth /usr/local/etc/sshd_config
PubkeyAuthentication yes

Hope that helps.  I can send you the whole sshd_config (off list) if it
would help.

good times,
Vineet
