SSH key format problem

$

Hi, I inherited an edgemax router running Edgerouter Pro 1.6.  I would like to disable the password authetication via ssh and just use a key exchange, but cannot get the key file to import. I am importing from a MAC OSX machine.

 

root@SVGH# loadkey admin /home/admin/id_rsa.pub

Not a valid key file format (see man sshd) at /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-load-user-key.pl line 96, <$in> line 1.

 

I have confirmed there are no spaces/comments in the key file.  I have even generated a new public key via "

ssh-keygen -y -f ./id_rsa > id_rsa.pub" and directly scp'd it over to the edgemax router.  Same results. This is the only device that I am having this kind of issue with.

 

Thanks in advance!
