Hi I have a dual boot system (WinXP and Ubuntu Dapper) on my (only) internal HD which works without difficulties. At present, I am trying to set up a system whereby a third OS...
...so I'm wondering if the keys are OK in ~finepd-.ssh . Or is ~finepd ? The user probably needs a valid ~ on the AIX box if you want to use public-key things. Public-key authentication makes things so much easier-faster that you usually want to use it.
Does the user's .bashrc on the remote system generate any output at all? That can cause really stupid things to happen with scp and sftp. It's usually a very good idea to put something like
if $- != *i* ; then # Shell is non-interactive. Be done now! return fi
...right at the top of ~-.bashrc . Beyond that, I dunno.
