Emh, sorry, but i didn't past the config and the errors because I thought that attach to the mail was better.
Anyway, the default sshd_config is NOT right for the authentication with pubkey, because the Password Authentication is set to 'yes' in default config. I changed only: PubkeyAuthentication yes ChallengeResponseAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no The permissions are ok. And i've copied the id_dsa.pub in this way: # scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.ssh/authorized_keys Jonathan Wilson, you're to nervous. Calm. Life is good. Open a txt file ? == 2 seconds. To read 10-11 lines ? 20 seconds. Kisses. Any help would be appreciate.
