I have three Solaris 8 servers

Server A is OpenSSH 3.7p1
Server B is OpenSSH 3.7p1
Server C is OpenSSH 3.8p1

Config files sshd_config and ssh_config files are exactly the same on all
servers.

Using SecureCRT to connect from my workstation I've succeeded in connecting
to both Server A and Server B but Server C will not connect using public key
authentication.

How can I determine the cause?

The only differences I've seen in tracing the connection is this:

On the servers that connect I see:

.......
.......
[LOCAL] : SEND: SERVICE_REQUEST[ssh-userauth]
[LOCAL] : RECV: SERVICE_ACCEPT[ssh-userauth] -- OK
[LOCAL] : SENT : USERAUTH_REQUEST [none]
[LOCAL] : RECV : USERAUTH_FAILURE, continuations
[publickey,password,keyboard-interactive]
[LOCAL] : SENT : USERAUTH_REQUEST [publickey - unsigned,agent,fingerprint:
9f:0c:e4:2e:f2:85:06:72:ac:b9:47:7b:f8:37:bf:ef]
[LOCAL] : SENT : USERAUTH_REQUEST [publickey - signed,agent,May 2000
Standard]
[LOCAL] : RECV : AUTH_SUCCESS


------
On the server that does not connect, Server C, I see:

I get a dialog that says that public key authentication failed please verify
username and public/private key pair.

The thing is they are the same private and public keys used on Server A and
B so why don't they work on Server C.

Thanks,
-Mark

Oops, copy and paste got away from me.

Lets try that again:

[LOCAL] : SENT : USERAUTH_REQUEST [publickey - unsigned,fingerprint:
10:d7:b3:8b:01:8e:84:07:da:5d:ed:d8:0c:49:b4:e8]


[LOCAL] : RECV : USERAUTH_FAILURE, continuations
[publickey,password,keyboard-interactive]

I then get a dialog that says that public key authentication failed please

A common problem is permissions on ~, ~/.ssh, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on
the server...
