Has anyone managed to make ssh authentication/pubkey work to bypass ssh
passwords in FC3.

I've made a public keys but nothing is working to bypass the password
request when executing ssh.

$ ssh -i .ssh/authorized_key noi@ssh_server

on ssh_client
1) Used ssh_keygen1024 -t rsa (also tried with dsa) to create public keys

2) copied public key to ssh_server

on ssh_server

3) cp public key to .ssh

4) created .ssh/config from /etc/ssh/ssh_config

5) updated config to identifykey .ssh/authorized_key

6) restarted sshd

ssh still asks for password.

Has anyone gotten ssh authentication to work in FC3?
