10.5: Use public keys with SSH in 10.5
Authored by: vocaro on Nov 05, '07 08:37:09PM

Can someone please explain what exactly is "great" about this? I don't have Leopard, but I do have Tiger, which works perfectly fine with public key authentication. What exactly is different with SSH authentication in Leopard?

Tiger doesn't store the password of an SSH private key in the Keychain. Leopard does.

The password is stored in the keychain and retrieved by the ssh program. I was not aware of this and was trying to insert my password at the prompt of the remote server!
