One other quick item, in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file check to see of the following line is comment out or not:<br><br>AuthorizedKeyFile    %h/.ssh/authorized_keys  (default is commented out)<br><br>If it isn&#39;t commented out and you still can&#39;t access simple ssh then comment it out and restart ssh.  Once you have simple known_host resolution and want to reestablish keys than remove the # write and save the sshd_config and restart ssh<br>
