    Hi all

    I have two Mandrake 9.0 test servers on two different subnets on the
    same switch. I'm using OpenSSH3.4p1. Trying to implement passwordless
    logins failes everytime.

    I generate new keys with

    ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa1
    ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa
    ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa

    I then take the .ssh/identity.pub and put it in authorized_keys on the
    server accepting the connection. This I have followed from many
    how-to's and books.

    However it alwyas asks for a password. Can someone point me in the
    right direction?

    I have just rebuilt the servers cleanly once again and have only created
    the rsa1 keys this time - I'll await with baited breath !!

    Many thanks
