ssh from new FC6 system times out to one destination

[Jim van Wel]

Hi there,

Hmmm, maybe it's a permission problem. Funny thing still is that I think
it's going wrong at the host somewhere. Are the permissions right?

At the client I have this:

-rw-------  1 username username  6431 Mar  2 10:00 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--  1 username username  1436 Mar  2 10:00 id_rsa.pub

At the host I have this:
-rw-r--r--  1 username  username  1436 Mar  2 13:50 authorized_keys2

Is it there the same situation?

Greetings,
Jim.
