My question is cancelled: I had an `ALL: ALL' entry in /etc/hosts.deny
on the machine I could not connect to, and I did not realize that the
rpm was compiled with tcpwrappers support.

But here is another bit: On one machine, I ran ssh-keygen on box A,
and copied ~mw/.ssh/identity.pub to box B as
~mw/.ssh/authorized_keys.  I expected that typing `ssh B' on box A
would immediately connect me to box B, but I was still prompted for a
password. Am I reading the man page for ssh incorrectly:

     The user should then copy the identity.pub to
     .ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the
     authorized_keys file corresponds to the conventional .rhosts file, and
     has one key per line, though the lines can be very long).  After this,
     the user can log in without giving the password. 

A reminder: I have installed ssh* from the rpms for US users.

Thx,

Mate
