Hi! i log in very often on bubba, and i'd like not to type the password each time.
i tried to arrange ssh in that way, but i filed.

i copied my pc's /home/msx/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on bubba as /home/msx/.ssh/authorized_keys as i found on some howto..

what's wrong?

Check your permissions on the authorized_keys file. And try to ssh with the -v option to get some info on what fails.

A tip is then to run ssh-agent on your workstation and use that to cache your keys. Don't add a key without a password.

Also, reading /var/log/messages will help you here.

ok, the problem was with my ~/.ssh directory on bubba, which had the wrong permission (rwxr--r-- instead of rwx------).
i noticed it looking ad /ver/log/auth.log

thanks everybody
