[Info-vax] TCPWare SSH client/server question

Not sure if I am being silly, but I now have 2 nodes running tcpware 
(TCPware(R) V6.0-0 Copyright (c) Process Software, OpenVMS version V8.4-2L1)
I have only enabled ssh2 connections.

If I connect from PC I connect fine, but if I connect from VMS, I get 
the key exchange error

warning: Could not read private key DKA100:[TOWNLEYC.SSH2]ID_RSA_MERLIN

and I get prompted for password.

Looking at the file protections:

SSH2.DIR;1              [CCT,TOWNLEYC]        (RWE,RWE,RE,E)

ID_RSA_MERLIN.;2        [CCT,TOWNLEYC]        (RW,RW,,)
ID_RSA_MERLIN.PUB;2     [CCT,TOWNLEYC]        (RWED,RWED,RE,R)

Seems OK to me, so I must be missing something.


Any suggestions?


Chris
