ssh2 login with public key - not working

[Laszlo Nagy]

Hi,

I have to boxes, both are FreeBSD 6.2 -p7. I did this:

user1 at box1:

ssh-keygen -t dsa
mv ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 640 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa user2 at box2:~/.ssh

user2 at box2:

mkdir .ssh
cat > .ssh/config

host mybox
        hostname box1
        identityfile /home/user2/.ssh/id_dsa
        compression yes
        cipher blowfish
        protocol 2
^D

Then I try this:

ssh -l user1 mybox

but it asks for a password. I also tried this:

ssh -v -v -v -l user1 mybox

This is what I see (just a part of it):

debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY
debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /usr/user2/.ssh/known_hosts
debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1

What is the problem? I could do the same with other computers/users without problem. I'm sure that I do something wrong.

Thanks,
