authorized_keys[2]

[Nuff Said]

Hi!

(I am not on this list; will not see any followups.)

I had some problems using OpenSSH with RSA public/private key
authentification until I realized, that the file in ~/.ssh on
the remote machine must be called: authorized_keys2

The man-page (and my default /etc/ssh/sshd_config) says:
authorized_keys

(Moreover, OpenSSH seems to demand mode 700 for .ssh and mode 600
for authorized_keys2. Didn't read that in the man-page, either.)

Is this a bug in the man-page? If so, could someone correct
it, please? (There might be a lot of other users with exactly the same
problem.)

Systems: Fedora Core 1 & Red Hat 9; OpenSSH 3.6 (installed from the RPMs
provided with the distribution, i.e. the packages: openssh,
openssh-server, openssh-clients).

Nuff
