Shell Programming and Scripting

no, home is the homedirectory. (eg. ~)

Still it's not working !!

What does the ssh-log say on the remote server?
Could you post this?
Second, could you post the output off the following command from the client system (as user informat) to the server system:
ssh -v -v -v B

Hi There
Thanks a lot for helping me out !!!
I am bit novice in Unix, Can u pls tell me where can I get the log of ssh-log
Will be it in server A or B and in which directory ..
I did run a command ssh -v -v -v B
and after that it lists lot of o/p and then prompting for password. I tried to copy the output into the file 'output'. with the below command ..

ssh -v -v -v B > output

But the output file doesn't not contain much. AM I doing something wrong here ..

Thanks a lot for ur effort to help me out !!

Well, it seems to me the output should somewhere say something about offering a key, and failing to do so.

The sshd-log is in your syslog.

It'll say something about the rights of the directory, or about not finding the key.

It could be you need to rename the authorized_keys file to authorized_keys2

Thank you, I was facing same issue, now after changing all permissions it is working fine, i need to set:

chmod -R 700 .ssh/

Hi All,
