Actually, it is /home, I mounted it that way because I'm the only user on the system. % echo $HOME /home % ls -l $HOME/.ssh total 10 -rw-r--r-- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 1787 Aug 21 09:34 authorized_keys -rw-r--r-- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 1152 Aug 21 09:38 config -rw------- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 887 Aug 20 17:00 id_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 218 Aug 21 09:34 id_rsa.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 230 Aug 20 20:39 known_hosts -rw------- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 1024 Aug 21 09:34 prng_seed -rw------- 1 BA3759 mkgroup_ 512 Aug 21 09:34 random_seed And it only works with the IdentityFile line in the config. That's the same strange thing: It should default to $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa, but it does not. Just like the default $HOME/.ssh/config does not work. >Also, why don't you have a id_rsa.pub file?

They are all there, this was no complete directory listing, just to show that the necessary files are present.
