Hi,

I'm trying to use ssh-keygen to generate a key for a remote Linux server for passwordless entry.

Unfortunately, it doesn't want to work: I keep having to enter a password.

I'm wondering if there's some OS 10.6 configuration setting that interferes with this.

I'm not using ssh-agent or other similar tools
