thanks Bret.... i tried it all... here is what i did last: new key with ssh-keygen -t rsa; this created 2 files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub the id_rsa has 600 and id_rsa.pub has 644 (permissions) scp id_rsa.pub [EMAIL PROTECTED]:.ssh/authorized_keys => here i get asked for password for the user so i enter it in order to scp the file over... i checked on the remote host in the .ssh dir and the file is on it's place with the same permissions and with the assigned name - authorized_keys. then from the "first" machine i do: scp -i id_rsa.pub ../moo.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:moo.txt and i get the password prompt.... what is wrong in the process above?! thanks a lot..... > > Try that and get back to us. > > Bret > > > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
