Hi Markus,

Thanks for the reply.  I had copied the public keys to authorized_keys
on the remote machine and the remote's to the local.  I did specify a
passphrase when creating the keys.  Is this the problem?

Also, is ssh2 really worth the effort?  I've disabled the traditional
rsh/rlogin/rcp programs on all my machines, so what else would ssh2
offer over ssh1?
