No no ... I was talking about _host_ keys, not user keys - no user home directories should be involved at all. I am simply sharing host keys so that all users on CLIENT can login to SERVER with no passwords ... am I missing something here ? I think my problem is that I gave the public _host_ key of the CLIENT to the SERVER, but really I should give the public _host_ key of the SERVER to the CLIENt ... is that my problem ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
