    hi

    i am trying to achieve passwordless logins between two linux boxes

    Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
    with OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f

    and Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)Kernel 2.4.7-10 on an i686
    with OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f

    This is what I am trying
    $ ssh-keygen -t dsa
    # Copy ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the remote machine
    # and on the remote machine
    $ cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

    But the authentication is falling over to password authentication.
    please find the ssh log below, What is going wrong ?

    [lehibt@MYSSD14981 lehibt]$ ssh -l venky 192.168.124.24 -v
