Hi folks

the situation is as follows:

2 identical machines (IBM F50) both running AIX 4.3.3 ML11. I have
installed the same openssh version on both machines as root, have on
both machines in /.ssh-directory the recommended files. Then I put the
public key of machine A into authorized_keys2 of machine B and vice
versa. Now from machine B I can ssh to A with giving the passphrase.
I start the ssh-agent on B and do a ssh-add /.ssh/id_dsa and the
ssh-login runs now without any passphrase.
But ... the other way from A to B isn't possible, the error message is like:

Permission denied (publickey)

Any hints to solve ?

Thx in advance
Friedhelm
