problem in ssh with -i option

Hi All,

I want to ssh to a remote terminal i did the following steps


1. On the client run the following commands:
2. $ mkdir -p $HOME/.ssh
3. $ chmod 0700 $HOME/.ssh
4. $ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa -P ''

and then tried the following

$ ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa server

its not working. I dont know what might be the problem... Just few days back it was working perfectly.

Thanks & Regards
Gauri

since you had made use of -i option in ssh (i - identity file)

specify the path of the identity file which contains the private key for RSA authentication

ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/identity
