What is the name of the file where you put the public keys on the target machine? How did you build the keys? I believe the default when running ssh-keygen is to build version 1 of rsa keys. Are you sure that when you copied the public key to the authorized_keys file on the target machine that it was one long line? It may look like more than one line and some editors may break it up into two, but the key should stay as one long line. > > 2. Before going much farther, update to OpenSSH 2.9.9p2.

In this case, this version of OpenSSH is fairly recent so unlikely to be found in the ports. I upgraded by downloading the source and building from there. One note of caution, OpenSSH components that come with FreeBSD are installed in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and configuration in /etc/ssh. The default in building from source is to install these components in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/etc. Make sure to read the output from "./configure --help" before building.
