[PLUG] SSH/SCP: Passphrase lost

   I think that I broke something in my ssh setup when I migrated to the new
distribution. The ~/.ssh/known_hosts file on the system has only my
notebook. As a matter of fact, I sync'd the two so that all the files on the
workstation are copied to the notebook.

   But, when I ssh from the notebook to the workstation I'm no longer asked
for my passphrase, only my password. Do I need to run key-gen again and make
sure that the keys and passwords are the same on both boxes?

Thanks,

Rich
