Dear GLLUGers,<br>
<br>
I run Fedora 19 at home and Fedora 17 at work. I use SSH to login at<br>
work from my home machine. This has worked successfully for over a<br>
year.<br>
<br>
Due to refurbishment, my work machine was switched off, moved into<br>
another room, and then restarted.<br>
<br>
Now SSH requests my password rather than using the default rsa public<br>
key mechanism. Nothing has been updated on my work machine as now<br>
Fedora 17 is not supported. I've looked at the SSH-related files on my<br>
home machine and it appears none of them has been updated since the<br>
move. Nothing else has changed.<br>
<br>
So, can anyone suggest why I get this behavior? More importantly, what<br>
can I do to restore the old behavior?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Mick<br>
