    I wonder if anyone can help

    I am trying to setup SSH communication between two machines A and B so that
    password authentication is not required, by using RSA authentication. This
    is for a specified user common to both machines.

    I have followed the various steps regarding key generation and coyping of
    keys and have succesfully managed to get this working for connection from A
    to B. However using the same steps to also set this up from B to A ends in
    failure as the debugging info shows the private key could not be found.
    Hence a password is requested which is not what I want.

    Is there something I am missing that prevents SSH without password
    authentication being used bi-directionally.

    Many Thanks
    Mark
