Sorry I sent the previous email without subject accidently.
How do I generate this key on the client?

The key should be generated on the client and there will be two files created in the directory you are in when created, id_dsa and id_dsa.pub in .ssh dir. You need put them in the local .ssh dir and copy the id_dsa.pub file to the remote PC and name it authorized_keys in .ssh dir.
Follow this thread in the archives:

You can search the archives using google. For this I used:
site:lists.suse.com [SLE] id_dsa.pub 9.3
and had one listing.

"The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge 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@192.168.0.4 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@192.168.0.4 0 /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found So I tried afore@linux:~/.ssh> ssh afore@192.168.0.4 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? Art
