The private key is only required on the "local" machine. It's safest to only keep it there, and then have your public key in the authorized_keys2 file of all machines on which you have accounts. (You don't need to keep separate files for each public key also; it just has to be in authorized_keys2). Also, if you're having trouble getting it working, also ensure that your local ssh is looking the correct place for the private key. This can be specified manually with -i on the command line or persistently with an IdentityFile directive in the configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config) good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
