Question : Problem: password-less ssh from Redhat Linux to Solaris NIS server

I tried for hours to get password-less ssh working to a Solaris NIS server from a RedHat with no luck.  Below is the verbose output from the ssh attempt last made.  Can you see if you can figure it out, please? We need to keep it SSHv2 and leave v1 disabled.

Hi sirbounty,

As you can see links were provided on how to set password-less access. I think this is an answer that should be accepted.
