Re: Bizarre passwordless scp problem, help

rsb-asp-google@xxxxxxxxxxxxx sez:

....
One thing I noticed is that if I did a "ps -ef |grep sshd", the 2 ids
which work successfully have an sshd daemon started by them; but the id
that will not do passwordless scp, does not have an sshd daemon
started. Could that have anything to do with it?
If so, would that normally be started at boot time?

Are you familiar with tcp/ip server programming? The part where
you start a listener as root at boot time, and the listener forks
off a server process for each connection.

In the case of "authenticated" services, that process is usually
owned by the UID of connecting user. So the answers is no, sshd
owned by root is the one started at boot time.
