Re: Can't get authorized_keys to work


David,

The "file" command also identifies DOS vs. Unix text format. It even knows Mac-style. I doesn't use those names, but it does distinguish them all:

% file test*
test.txt:   ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
test-txt:   ASCII text
test[TEXT]: ASCII text, with CR line terminators

Have you checked line endings?  e.g. Cygwin might have created the file
with CR-LF, but Linux wants LF.  Use "od" (octal dump) to examine the
file.  Use "dos2unix" to convert line endings.


HTH,
