Summary: Setup of SSH key logins - TRU64 to Red Hat Linux

Hello All,

Here is a summary although I never got this to work, we decided to go 
with workarounds.

I posted the following inquiry on the TRU64 Unix Managers List:

(RHEL4

I also posted almost the identifcal issues to a RHEL "Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux" discussion group.

Anyhow, I was never able to come up with a solution??

I understand the actual processes quite well as I can make SSH-Key 
login authentication work:

     TRU64  to  TRU64
     RHEL   to  RHEL
     RHEL   to  TRU64

I just cannot get "TRU64 to RHEL" to work??

Thanks to all whom responded with ideas :-)

I know about using "ssh -v  user@host" etc.

I am quite familar with the internal setup differences of this on Open 
SSH versus SSH2

For some reason in my environment the TRU64 to RHEL just will not 
work. We are working around it for the present as TRU64 will be 
retired here very soon anyhow.
