Hello,

I'm trying to setup ssh and scp so I can scp/ssh to another linux box
without having to type in a password every time. I've setup sshd and
used ssh-keygen as specified in the man pages, including copying the
identity.pub file to .ssh/authorized_keys onto the computer I want to
log into. I am still prompted for a password when trying to use scp and
ssh. Any ideas why I'm still being propmted for a password? I've tried
the -i option. Is there a more comprehensive set of documentation other
than what is located at www.openssh.org?

Thanks
Jason
