I'm trying to setup ssh into a user account (not padmin) on 2x of our VIO servers running ioslevel 2.1 which is also aix 6.1 tl2. After switching to root from padmin, for the user I want to ssh to, I've setup the .ssh directory in the user's home folder, and within the folder created the file authorized_keys with perm 600. The file contains the contents of the id_rsa.pub file for the root user from another aix host running aix 5.3 (ssh-keygen -t rsa). I'm used to this procedure for setting up ssh w/o a password, but on the 2x vio servers at this aix/vio level, I'm still prompted for a password. The vio servers are running the lpp packages for ssh version 5.2.0.5300. I have a non-vio aix server running aix 6.1 tl4 where I can setup ssh w/o a password just fine using the same lpp package level
When I connect from the aix 5.3 server using ssh -v, I receive this output:
debug1: Host 'vipdp5ec5' is known and matches the RSA host key.
debug1: Found key in /.ssh/known_hosts:92

is there an issue with the TL level/ioslevel on these 2x vio servers ?
