I have my SSH set up to use only public key authentication between my
laptop and my remote host--no password fallback, no PAM. So, I
initiate a session using:
$ ssh -i .ssh/id_remote remote.host.ip.address
Then I am prompted for the password of the .ssh/id_remote file which
resides on the laptop.
This works well (X11 Forwarding even!), but when I've tried Midnight
Commander or Konqueror using the fish protocol, I get errors. In
experimenting, it appears to me that fish only uses password
authentication. How can I make this work with public key only as I'm
using?
I want to keep my SSH access as secure as possible by using only public
key authentication.
