Sorry about the lack of info there.

RH 8.0. sshd is in fact running. Running ssh 3.x

I think the piece that I am really missing is:

What is the file name used to store the public key on the remote machine?
What does an entry in that file look like?

If I understand it correctly, I initiate the session.
sshd looks in this file to see if I exist.
Denies or allows me after typing in my user/password pair based partly on
what is in this file?

Mike,

Which ssh are you using? Have you started the daemon on the destination
computer? Which distribution?

I want to setup ssh so that I can login as a non-root user....what are the
basic steps for this?

I have been reading through the docs and I am getting clues, but I am
missing something.

Anyone have any good ideas?

Mike
