There are differences. Have you added the key that belongs to the user you wish to ssh as to the authorized_keys (or for ssh V2 authorized_keys2) file of the user that you wish to ssh to ? EG. wayne on box a wants to ssh to web on box b. wayne on box a generates a ssh key. The sysadmin then adds the contents of wayne's public key to /export/home/web/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on box b. > BTW, I know blank passphrases are bad, but how would I connect > without any user intervention? You can use ssh-agent where you enter the passphrase once at startup, and then ssh uses the running agent to authenticate against requests.
