Response to: SSH Problem with Instructions
Use "ssh -v ..." to see what it's doing. Why are you using -i to tell it to use the wrong key? As I pointed out last time, ~/.ssh/identity contains a protocol-1-only key.

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  Here is the -v output. It appears, from what I can understand, that public key authentication is taking place. But, I get asked for the password and not the passphrase.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Chris

  I too am having the same problem with automatic logins.
  
  I followed the instructions to the letter. Here is part of my session transcript. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
