ssh question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have two PCs.  One of them has my servers running on it.  The other
has a larger hard drive and a CD-R drive.  I would like to be able to
ssh over to the server PC and tar the /etc and /var directories and then
transfer the tars back to my other PC.  I think I can set up the
scheduling with cron, but I can't figure out how to use ssh without it
asking for my password.  I looked up in the RH documentation and it said
that I could use ssh-add to store my passwords.  I put ssh-add in my
sessions->startup directory (Documentation said that when I restarted
next time a dialog box would pop up asking me for my password and then
it would store it), but no dialog box comes up, and I still have to
enter my password every time.  How would I do this?
