Hello,
  Has anyone managed to get a passwordless authentication with a
non-local, AFS account? I've been running through various documents and
settings on the net, but can't, yet, pull it off.

For the record, I'm attempting to use OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 on a G5 (OS X
10.3.7).

I've generated the id_dsa.pub both with and without passphrases, made sure
that my ~/.ssh directory and the authorized_keys2 (And authorized_keys)
files are all chmod 600. I've placed the id_dsa.pub key at the end of
authorized_key* (since this is AFS, I assume that I don't have to transfer
this to the account on the remote server, since the account is the same on
both servers).

NO matter what I do, I always fall through to keyboard-interactive, which
generates a password prompt.

I'm trying to set up a LAM boot, and the prompt is disrupting this.

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks,

Paul Mitchell
