Create an ssh key on the local machine and put the public portion of it into the remote servers /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys file then you can ssh(fs) without a password ----- Original Message ---- From: Eric Stein <eastein@WPI.EDU> To: Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug@mail.wlug.org> Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 10:28:47 AM Subject: [Wlug] sshfs + certificate files + fstab? Eric, I remember you mentioned you knew how to use sshfs with certificates for passwordless mounting at the last meeting when we went out for pizza. How was that done?

I already do this for normal ssh and it doesn't work for sshfs - I get queried for my password anyway. Eric Mike Leo wrote:

Mike, Are you getting any log output from sshd on the remote host? -Adam On 9/21/07, Eric Stein <eastein@wpi.edu> wrote:

That's a topic I've been meaning to ask about for a long time, but never got around to: I have a server that I refer to as rich.richardklein.org, mail.richardklein.org, smtp.richardklein.org, and gs750.richardklein.org (and I may have missed another alias). It serves web pages, mail, and FTP (and again, I may have forgotten something). How do I decide which name to use for the certificate? Do I generate different certificates for mail (where I usually use mail.richardklein.org) and web (where I usually use rich.richardklein.org)? -- Rich
