[NTLUG:Discuss] SSH RSA

[Greg Edwards]

Oops, didn't think to check the log, my bad!!

remote .ssh/authorized_keys is rw-r--r--, local .ssh/id_rsa is r------

IIRC, ssh runs as root so permissions shouldn't be an issue?

Telnet is open on the VM and I get access denied on rcp too.  Could 
SELinux be blocking me?  I haven't looked at that yet either.
