Re: Unable to ssh w/out password


Does anyone know why I am still being prompted for a password?
Client - OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f
Server - OpenSSH_3.9p1

server sshd_config contains partly:
#RSAAuthentication yes
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
#AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
UsePAM no

Server contains authorized_keys file with the contents of id_rsa.pub
from the client

permission of authorized_keys on server is 600
permission of user's .ssh dir on server is 700

permission of user's .ssh dir on client is 700
permission of id_rsa.pub on client is 644
permission of id_rsa on client is 600

The home directory must also be writable only by the owner. If this is
the problem, you should see this in the server log:
