I have created an rsa key on my workstations which I use to ssh to 25+ servers
I have a small script that allows me to 'ssh ${host}' easily.

but when I am logged into $host1 and attempt to ssh to $host2
I'm prompted for a password.

So, I decided to copy my id_rsa into the ${host}~./ssh directories on
the 25 servers. I already have an authorized_keys file being that I
ssh to them all day from my workstation.

I set permissions to 0600 on each id_rsa.

When I attempt to login here is what I get using ssh -v host

debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
Enter passphrase for key '/home/tulku/.ssh/id_rsa':

I don't have a passphrase setup, when I created the key I hit <return>

Is this due to bad perms, or did I miss something in the documentation?


thanks,
