in the example for the FAQ on connecting without a password, the ssh command uses the -i flag and specifies the location for the private key file. I have had it working in the past where putting that file in the .ssh folder of the client's home path, named id_rsa, has worked. I currently cannot get that to work.
it will work if I specify the identity with -i. how can I get the client to look in the .ssh folder for the identity key?

I got this to work by doing a ssh-keygen on the client computers and adding the id_rsa.pub to the authorized_keys in the home directory for the user in the copSSH directory.
thanks for providing this tool, it has helped us quite a bit!
