[lug] problems with ssh key authorization after upgrade to RH7.1

[charles at lunarmedia.net]

i recently upgraded a RH6.2 machine to RH7.1. previously i had a trust set
up between a user on the 6.2 machine and i remote box using ssh
private/public keys with empty passphrases. after the upgrade however,it
seems as though the machine is not passing its key information to the
remote machine as i am being prompted for a password when logging in
whereas before i was not.

i have done a diff on the old and new /etc/ssh/sshd_config files and dont
immediately see anything that stands out as being the problem. i
regenerated my public/private key and scp'd them to the remote machine and
overwrote the old entry in the remote user's authorized_keys file, but
still not luck.

any suggestions?

thanks! -charles
