Giorgos, Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I have tried using SSH in the past, and got stuck setting up the public key login (that's why we're using pserver). I spent a few hours yesterday trying to get SSH going again. I can login with SSH from the windows machine using Putty, but only when I use password authentication. In order to use cvs with ssh (using the plink program in Putty), we must use public key authentication. We are getting a 'Key Refused' error when trying to use public key authentication. I have tried doing several things including editing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file: PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys We also had to make these changes in order to get password based ssh to work: UsePAM no PermitRootLogin yes We also tried putting the public key into various files: .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2 .ssh2/authorized_keys .ssh2/authorized_keys2 (and made sure they are not group/world writable. The keys are SSH2 DSA 1024 bits) I tried looking in the /var/log/auth.log file, and what I'm seeing is: Feb 2 10:19:26 mail1 sshd2[15343]: connection from "xxx.xx.xxx.x" Feb 2 10:19:26 mail1 sshd2[15344]: WARNING: DNS lookup failed for "xxx.xx.xxx.\ x". Feb 2 10:19:29 mail1 sshd2[15344]: Local disconnected: Connection closed. Feb 2 10:19:29 mail1 sshd2[15344]: connection lost: 'Connection closed.' (I set "LogLevel DEBUG3" in sshd_config. I don't think the DNS error is relevant, because password based ssh is working. But I could wrong. What do you think?) Do you have any idea where I can look to find out why the key is being refused? Are there any other logfiles other than auth.log that could give a clue to what's going wrong? Thanks!
