I did this explicitly. I also did it via ssh-copy-id per the post from Colin, which is a nice little utility. > On the workstation, edit .ssh/config, add: > > host remotehost > user remoteuser I did this as well, which cleared up my problem with user names. Thanks. > and you're done. Beware of "StrictModes" at the shared host, btw. I checked the /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the host, and it has StrictHostKeyChecking ask but it is commented out, so I presume the default is ask. There was no entry for simply 'StrictModes' although I did see references to that in a google search. > Using the same usernames on both sides is at best convenient, but > probably more trouble than it's worth. So the username problem is solved, and the id_dsa.pub key that I generated on my workstn and copied to the .ssh/authorized_keys file on the host was completed, and I also ran 'ssh-add' on my workstn to load the public keys, yet when I 'ssh justdogs.com' I still get prompted for the password of the user on the host. What am I missing? (a snippet of the -v output is appended below).
