We wish to scp without a password to a remote site running ssh.com
non-commercial version:
SSH Secure Shell 3.1.0 (non-commercial version) on sparc-sun-solaris2.6

We run OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL.

The problem is that the server always asks for a password.

On the client:
ssh-keygen -t dsa

Edit the resulting id_dsa.pub into ~/.ssh2/authorization on the server
machine.
Make sure there are no spaces.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Is there an incompatibility
between
ssh.com and openssh??
