Hi All,

I am trying to ssh into a RH server (CentOS) using pubkey authentication and 
this is what I am getting back:
==============================
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/michael/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Offering public key: /home/michael/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: password
==============================

I find it confusing.  First of all I do not have a id_rsa.  Second, my id_dsa 
is my private key not my public key.  My public key is id_dsa.pub

Is this a server configuration issue, or something to do with my Gentoo set 
up?

PS. Not sure if this is relevant but although my user name on the server is 
mick, for reasons better known to him the sysadmin has created my home 
directory as /home/mic - could it be that sshd is looking for /home/mick?
