I have made an attempt to have ssh connect without requiring password. I tried on my own with out success. I found this site which I thought had pretty good instructions. Unfortunately it didn't work on RH9. I tried both ssh2 options. david http://bumblebee.lcs.mit.edu/ssh2/ First, generate a public/private DSA key pair on Ooga. ooga% ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa When you are asked for a passphrase, leave it empty. Now send the public key to Booga. ooga% cd .ssh ooga% scp id_dsa.pub user@booga:~/.ssh Next, log in to Booga and add the public key to the list of authorized keys. ooga% ssh user@booga booga% cd .ssh booga% cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2 booga% chmod 640 authorized_keys2 booga% rm -f id_dsa.pub Note that the filename is authorized_keys2, not authorized_keys. That's it; you're ready to ssh from Ooga to Booga without having to enter a password. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
