ssh key pairs

[Keith Morse]

Got a situation that driving me slightly batty.  I cannot get a ssh key 
pairs to work in a particular situation.



local host				remote host
------------------------------------------------------------------------
either :

rh 7.2                                  Cobalt RAQ3
  ssh OpenSSH_3.4p1                     ssh OpenSSH_3.4p1

or :

rh9
  ssh OpenSSH_3.5p1



both local hosts can successfully ssh by keypair to other hosts.  but 
neither can ssh by keypair to the remote host above.



i've got the local id_dsa.pub keys in the remotes .ssh/authorized_keys 
file.  Permissions are (remote host):

-rw-r--r--    1 admin    admin        1234 Aug 11 15:03 authorized_keys
-rw-------    1 admin    admin         744 Aug  9 15:18 id_dsa
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    admin         617 Aug  9 15:18 id_dsa.pub
-rw-rw-r--    1 admin    admin           0 Aug 11 14:31 known_hosts


sshd_config on the remote permits public key authentication:

#PubkeyAuthentication yes



I've also verified that the the entries in authorized_keys contain no 
superflous characters.  the keys are one line.


Would this be something funky with the cobalt raq?  it's ssh install looks 
pretty much like what I'd see in a redhat box.
