John,
Thanks for the link!! ... that definitely sounds like what's going on. The problem still persists though
... I recreated the keys and ran the updateauthkeys and when trying to run the test I still get prompted for a password. I've tried 4 times now including moving the old .ssh directory and having everything created from scratch.
On the page it says you should NOT be required to provide a password and if you are then try rerunning everything ... it mentioned nothing about if it continues to request a password no matter what
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again!!
Regards,
Lonny
