Subject: Re: net/ssh question

I think there is a bug in Net::SSH (or there was when I was using it
for a project back when) where the authentication method doesn't
default to public key. Here's a sample of the code that could be used:

Net::SSH.start('my_host.com','user',:keys=>["c:\\id_dsa"],:auth_methods=>"publickey"
) do |session|

# put the SSH session command and whatnot here

				end

If you see I hard-coded the public key authentication method, as well
as provided the location of the DSA ID file used. Does this help?
