So, why is this such a hassle? I did the above for machine#2. machine#1 has no problem with the same key. # ------------------------------------------------------ To machine#1: [this one has worked fine for some time.] (0) keeling /home/keeling_ ssh machine#1 (0) machine#1 keeling /home/users/keeling_ (0) machine#1 keeling /home/users/keeling_ ssh -V SSH Version 1.2.32 [i586-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5.

However, I would prefer the two worked the same (aka, passwordless). -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
