[Klug-general] Problem getting ssh to use PublicKeyAuthentication :-(

[Ritchie Fraser]

Hi All,

I am trying to get "password less" public key pair authentication to work 
between my laptop and my desktop and am not being very successful.

	ritchie at linux-9gkd:~/.ssh> ssh ritchie at hpdesk
	Password:
	Last login: Sat May  9 11:44:06 2009 from hpdesk
	Have a lot of fun...
	ritchie at hpdesk:~>

As you can see, ssh works and lets me in BUT it still asks me for my password. 
Grrrr.

I feel I am missing something really stupid. All pointers welcome :-)

Setup:
Laptop: linux-9gkd    						Desktop: hpdesk
OS: OpenSUSE 11.1						        OpenSUSE 10.3

I followed the instructions here... 
http://en.opensuse.org/Public_Key_Authentication

I created my rsa key pair on linux-9gkd and copied it (id_rsa.pub) into my 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys on hpdesk.

I made the suggested changes to client (linux-9gkd) and server (hpdesk) config 
files.

I can post config files if necessary.

Kind Regards,

Ritchie
