The even MORE interesting thing is that by enabling PAM everything works - although I still get DSA key rejects from the server. However, here is the output of ssh -v -v -v from both machines:

Nonetheless, I'd really like to know why ssh wasn't running without PAM, especially since it's the only programme which gives me trouble. Everything else, from sendmail to apache to proftp to pop3d... works fine on the first try on both machines (and several others, I might add). Regards, Luigi Fabio - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
