ssh2 <--> openssh public key authentication

[Rob Mahurin]

Hello,

I am trying to set up public-key authentication between a SunOS box
("larry") running ssh2 and a dialup Debian box ("peon") running potato
with OpenSSH 1:2.5.2p2-1 compiled from sid.  From larry, the SunOS box,
I can do "ssh peon" without being prompted for a password; however,
running "ssh larry" from peon requires a password.

On peon I have:
        .ssh/config         containing  PubkeyAuthentication  yes
                                   and  IdentityFile $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
        .ssh/id_dsa{,.pub}   made with  ssh-keygen
        .ssh/peon.pub        made with  ssh-keygen -f id_dsa -x

On larry I have:
        .ssh2/peon.pub                  copied from peon
        .ssh2/authorization containing  Key peon.pub

>From what I understand, I should be able to do "ssh larry" with
public-key authentication, yet I am still prompted for a password.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
