Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with SSHing into my Mac from my Ubuntu machine, without entering a password. I managed to successfully SSH into my Ubuntu machine from my Mac without a prompt, but trying to get into my Mac doesn't work (without providing my Mac's password). I tried to setup a secure key on the ubuntu machine, and I copied that to the authorized_keys file on my Mac, but I'm not having any luck.

Thank you
