I've used this setup in the past... http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mbonati/WIRC/manual/DATARED/setting_up_no-pass... On 11/30/05, Mike Leo <mleo963@yahoo.com> wrote:
I remember someone talking about sharing keys between systems so you can ssh around at will without needing the password....
we are trying to do this, but are having a hard time. Anyone have a good doc (or willing to write one) about how to do this?
Basically we are ssh-keygen -t (dsa/rsa) the keys, copy them to the "remote" servers ~/.ssh/
There are conflicting doc's at this point...some say you need an ssh-agent, some don't mention it. Some use passphrases, some don't. But if i have to enter an ssh passphrase everytime, why not just use the account password?
Any advise would be helpful...
thanks as always.. Mike _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
