Are you trying to use ssh keys instead of regular password authorization?


When using keys:
You will have the files $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub and $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.

The id_dsa.pub - file is your public key. Copy that file to the target to
$HOME/.ssh/machinename.pub and do a
"cd .ssh; cat machinename.pub >>authorized_keys".
