Instead of using a password I´d like to use a public key (DSA) to authenticate for ssh.
You would say "no big deal" - so that is what I said, too - but it is :-)
Here is my /etc/sshd_config:
asl:/home/login/.ssh # cat /etc/sshd_config
# This is ssh server systemwide configuration file.
Port 22
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
HostDSAKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
ServerKeyBits 768
LoginGraceTime 600
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes
X11Forwarding no
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd yes
KeepAlive yes
UseLogin no
#UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
#
# Loglevel replaces QuietMode and FascistLogging
#
SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
#LogLevel VERBOSE
LogLevel DEBUG
#
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
#
RhostsRSAAuthentication no
#
# Don't read ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files
#
IgnoreRhosts yes
RhostsAuthentication no
#
# Uncomment if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for RhostsRSAAuthentication
#
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes
RSAAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys2 port 3206

Does somebody know if there is a issue about putty and the openssh version on ASL or is the ASL openssh not compiled "right"?
