I am trying to set up ssh/scp to be able to login in w/o using a password. The man pages for ssh and ssh-keygen explain how to do this.

So, using "rsa1" style, I created the public and private keys by way of ssh-keygen, then added the contents of "$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub" to a newly created "$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys" file on the remote system I am want to log into.

But, it is still asking me for a password when I ssh to the remote server. I did not use a passphrase, either, when creating the keys by way of ssh-keygen.

What am I doing wrong????? I also found this resource on the web, and it verifys that I am doing this step by step.

If anyone has done this, please let me know what I am doing wrong!!!

Thanks in advance,

MC
