Re: ssh no password problem

Perhaps the issue is with the steps you took to generate the key. The
message you show above does not show that ssh is prompting you for
your login password, it shows that it's prompting you for your key
password.

Note that you can generate your dsa keys either with or without a
password. I always generate mine without a password, so I don't know
what I would see with the password. But I do know that when I don't
have a key set up at all, I get a different password prompt than the
one you show.

Looking at an encrypted id_dsa file will tell you if the key is
encrypted or not. You will see header lines like:

Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,6B6CB0E67B37AC61
