And hopefully, once you've read through all of that you've either:

1. Found the problem and fixed it! (Problem solved.) Or,
2. Lost all patience and decided it's too complicated and not worth the effort, you'll just use passwords. (Problem solved.)

I hope this has helped a little -- and maybe you're a little bit closer to #1 than #2 (giving up and using passwords) when all is said and done. Good luck!

(Apologies for the long post, everyone.)

Thank you very much for your input..

I have used keys and set up keys before, cant say I am an expert, but I've used them..

1. used puttygen to create the pair
2. put the public key into authorized_keys
3. set putty to use either pageant, or directly to the local priv key file..

still getting prompted.

I will start from scratch and try again.

I really want this to work, because I need to scp files to all ants..... especially /etc/init.d/cgminer . the start script is not allowing a switch pools command via rpc without this change.

key files are in a different location that a standard linux distro: look in /etc/dropbear for ssh files e.g.

Code:

root@antminer-6:~# ls -alt /etc/dropbear/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1214 Apr 10 09:02 authorized_keys
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Feb 21 14:17 .
-rw------- 1 root root 459 Dec 1 20:28 dropbear_dss_host_key
-rw------- 1 root root 427 Dec 1 20:28 dropbear_rsa_host_key
drwxrwxr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 1 20:28 ..
