[X-Unix] SSH without requiring password between 2 machines -SOLVED

[Our Pal Al]

So I sent my output from 'ssh -v' to the list Friday but the results 
pushed the message up to 6k, which was first held by the moderator for 
large size, then rejected. "no reason given".

In desperation I chatted with a UNIX Guru I've recently made a business 
acquaintance with. He told me a LOT of things about ssh ... but didn't 
solve the problem. Got me thinking in the right direction though and I 
realized it was -

LINE FEEDS!!!! AAARRGGHH!

On my originator machine I made my public ssh key, then did a 'more' of 
the file, highlighted the key and copy/pasted it into a vi window on my 
target machine, saving it as "authorized_keys".

Everything LOOKED fine, especially as all my terminal  windows are the 
same size that I like, but the line breaks were ENTIRELY OFF!! 
Authorized_keys never had my public key!

I mounted my target machine via Appletalk and drag and dropped the file 
on my target machine naming it "authorized_keys". Works like a charm! 
Now some other things I'm doing can proceed and I've even realized some 
interesting things like ssh-ing to another machine without a password 
as another user, so it's certainly been revealing. Thanks all for your 
responses.
