I use 6 rhel boxes that should all be configured identically, but
apparently are not. I was setting up logins with keys to use ssh from
one to the other, and they all work but one. I need some help
figuring out why this might be.
I generated a dsa key for clienthost and brokenhost with "ssh-keygen
-t dsa -b 2048" and just hit enter to use the default file name and no
passphrase. I added the id_dsa.pub contents to authorized_keys in
~/.ssh on the brokenhost. This procedure worked for connecting to all
of the 6 servers except brokenhost. Perhaps someone can tell me why.
Unfortunately I don't have root on these servers, and cannot look at
the sshd_config.
the "ssh -vv brokenhost" follows:
[user@clienthost user]$ ssh -vv brokenhost
