Hi, I have problems setting up rsa based ssh access to suse 9.2 machine. I did this: ssh-keygen -t dsa -C 'root@voipy' cat .ssh/id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys and then corrected /etc/ssh/sshd_config (at the end of email). I did /etc/init.d/sshd restart and I can still log in in old fashioned way with username and password.... I can login also with private key (but it asks for normal user password instead of passphrase of the key??), but I'd like to eliminate old fasioned way... What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob. -----------------------------------------------sshd_config---------------------------------------------------------------- $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.69 2004/05/23 23:59:53 dtucker Exp $ # This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.
