Well, I am making some headway. When I launch putty, I now get this: sent username darryl Trying public key authentication no pass phrase required couldn't load public key from c:\identity.pub darryl@bigdog's password: If I enter my normal password (not passphrase), I get logged in. Any ideas what I don't have right ? I did (on the sshd machine) ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key I did not do ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key because -d is not valid (even checked the man page). thanks, Darryl -----Original Message----- From: Joe Guetler [mailto:joe@axiomadvertising.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 9:24 AM To: darryl@osborne-ind.com Subject: Re: sshd -continued Kris is probably right when he said you have to add the port, but if yo haven't made host keys you should do that too. try 'ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key' and 'ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key'. Make sure you don't enter any passphrases. Restart sshd. that should create your host keys. then you either have to install the free RSA port, or you could try using another encrytion scheme, aka Blowfish, in putty. I can't remeber if you can choose different choose different schemes in putty, as I don't have it in front of me. Hopefully I'm getting this right, it's been awhile since I set my sshd up.
