ssh-keygen configuration problem
I am unable to set password less entry from one server to another even after i have generated public key and have put in the authorized_keys of the target server. When i try to debug the ssh using ssh -v, it gives me

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/sasdemo/.ssh/identity
debug1: Offering public key: /home/sasdemo/.ssh/id_rsa
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Offering public key: /home/sasdemo/.ssh/id_dsa
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug2: userauth_kbdint
debug2: we sent a keyboard-interactive packet, wait for reply


also .. just to test, when i did
$cat id_dsa.pub | ssh user@server_id 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
it asked for the password and then gave the error message
bsh: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys: 0402-011 Cannot create the specified file.

Any suggestions ???? Can bean shell be a problem ???

Did you enter a passphrase when you created the key?

It could be a filesystem problem: ssh does not like it when the filemode is set too generous. It should be "600", the important thing being "00" for group and world. Depending on your ssh version and the architecture you're running this might be a problem.

I hope this helps.

No i didnot enter any passphrase ..

The filesystem ~/.ssh and authorized_keys file already contains the permission of 644 .. and in other server it's working fine ..

Is anyone aware of any type of conflict between bsh and ssh ?
