I have around 30 servers running linux and I connect to all of them using ssh2.0 all of the sudden when I try connecting to one of them it doesen't accept my key, I had to turn on login authentication so I could login by using a password. My key is the same, pass phrase is the same, permissions are the same, and all the other servers are fine with it. I'm not sure what could cause this?

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Run /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234 -d manually on the destination server to get debugging output, then then try connecting to it using ssh -p 1234 hostname. The debugging output should give you a clue as to why it is refusing to authenticate.

Annihilannic.
 
Thanks! That did the trick, I had to chmod 700 my admin and .ssh folder.

Thanks again!
