Thank you both for your suggestions. I tried running user-ssh-config but
the SSH1 RSA creation fails with the message "chmod: changing
permissions of '/home/jromano': Permission denied". I continue through
the steps and there are no other error messages, but i am still
experiencing the same problem. Disabling StrictModes did not help either.
What folders or files do I need to change the permissions to, and what
changes need to be made?
Thank you again,
