Sorry I sent the previous email without subject accidently.

Went to the link you gave, still no luck. Here is what I did and what I
got:
afore@linux:~> ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/afore/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/afore/.ssh/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/afore/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.

copied the id_dsa.pub  from local machine to
server /afore/.ssh/authroized_keys.

Still get the same when I try to logon to the server with NX on the
clinet.

Then I tried one of the things mention in one of the emails.

afore@linux:~> ssh-copy-id -i id id_dsa.pub afore@xxxxxxxxxxx
0
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found
afore@linux:~> cd .ssh
afore@linux:~/.ssh> ssh-copy-id -i id id_dsa.pub afore@xxxxxxxxxxx
0
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

So I tried 

afore@linux:~/.ssh> ssh afore@xxxxxxxxxxx
Enter passphrase for key '/home/afore/.ssh/id_dsa':

Entered the password that I used when I generated the key which is the
same as my logon for both the client and server.

Last login: Sat Aug  6 01:49:08 2005 from sha-server.site
Have a lot of fun...
afore@sha-server:~> exit
logout
Connection to 192.168.0.4 closed.

So now, I am completely lost! What does the ERROR: No identities found
mean?
