Dear Gurus,

I have two servers adms and ads1, both running Solaris 9. I want to ssh from adms to ads1.

So I created a ssh2 key using the following command:-

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C "dartkey"

I then added the contents of dartkey.pub to the authorised_key file on ads1.

I then attempted to connect to the server...

> ssh -v -2 -l dart -i .ssh/dartkey ads1
SSH Version Sun_SSH_1.0.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.

On adms :-
> ssh -V

On ads1 :-
>ssh -V
Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090700f

I've updated the hosts.allow on ads1 with adms's details.

The sshd_config and ssh_config on both servers:- Protocol 2

I chmod the key to 600...

Also I can do

> telnet ads1 22
Trying 172.17.3.30...
Connected to ads1-winn.

any help would greatly appericated.
