Ahah! Bingo!
Look at your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file! I bet you will find robert@host at the end of the line in the desktop file and bob@host in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your laptop.
Edit your authorized_keys file and either correct the names or simply delete the space and robert@host after the == Like this:
osW/BdzA== robert@host ^^^^^^^^^^^^ delete every thing over the ^^^^ and try again ;-)
or change robert to bob. The names have to match the account on the machine or delete them
Many thanks, Bob
Your welcome
Hello, David :) You're right about the names, as you state above. However, the problem lay elsewhere, a mismatch between ssh_host_key.pub on one machine and the contents of known_hosts on the other. So, I've got ssh working in both directions, but my next problem is that scp won't accept any of my user login passwords. I thought it used the same underlying mechanism as ssh. I've tidied up all my public keys as you suggested in an earlier post.
