Hi,

Based on your description, it's permission related issue:
"3 I copied yhe public key to my home folder at the remote server  like

scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub myuser@remoteserver:/home/myuser.ssh/authorized_keys"

If there was no file in that directory permissions will be defined by umask which is normally set to 755.

Proper permissions below:
[root@server00 .ssh]# ls -la
total 20
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Oct 29 15:12 .
drwxr-x--- 9 root root 4096 Jan 11 18:37 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 1114 May  2  2010 authorized_keys
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  405 Oct 29 15:12 known_hosts
[root@server00 .ssh]# umask
0022


Please note: Umask 0022 means effectively 755.

Kind Regards,

Subject: SSH keygen and login problem

 Hi,,

For my file transfer script i want to use scp without password. Here is nearly what i have done:
1- I logined to my Checkpoint (which is Redhat based and the one who is source) with my personal user and gave expert command  to have root permissons.
2. Changed directory to /root/.ssh and gave ssh-keygen -t dsa and created the key pairs.
3 I copied yhe public key to my home folder at the remote server  like

scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub myuser@remoteserver:/home/myuser.ssh/authorized_keys

4. Then i copied this authorized_keys to the /root/.ssh.
5 then tried to send a sample file from my Checkpoint box to remote server with scp but it requested me to enter a password.

how can i fix this ? then ill adapt my scirpt to this regards.
