I think using: $ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the "proper" way of doing this. It ensures that the file ends up on the remote machine with proper permissions set, and adds the appropriate entry in the remote ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg
