Hello Linuxers,
Whenever I try to ssh form my rh9 box to other boxen on the network, the fingerprinting fails. The error given is "cannot create directory /home/foo/.ssh". This directory is, ofcourse, required to store the fingerprint (known_hosts) and dsa keys.
I verified the perms on the directories and even tried creating the directory manually, but no go.
My ultimate aim is to setup ssh without keys, so that a user can ssh to/from my box without being prompted for passwords or passphrases.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Nadiem

1) check if the group and owner permission of the home directory of the login user foo is "foo:foo" 2) check out that the /home/foo directory is not set to imutable i.e. do lsattr /home/foo
