Hi, on the following steps to 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 the filename is authorized_keys2, not authorized_keys. That's it; now ready to ssh from Ooga to Booga without having to enter a password. what if i want to be able to ssh from Booga to Oooga without having to enter a password? i mean the steps up enable to connect from Ooga to Booga without pass but from Booga to Ooga it ask for pass, i want 2 way without pass!!
