You need to create keys. It's been awhile, but it's spelled out fairly well in the man pages for ssh-keygen. One gotcha I remember is that the perms on the .ssh directory need to be very tight (600 maybe). Regards, Marshall -----Original Message----- From: Kelley.Coleman@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Kelley.Coleman@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 9:53 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: SSH Connection I would like to run a script on box A that connects to box B, executes a script there, then returns to complete the original script. The user accounts are different on each box. Box A user is 'oracle', box B user is 'ias'. I tried: ssh servername -l ias /u01/ias/scripts/test_script.sh but I'm prompted for a password. I tried putting the password into the script where it seems to want it, but again, I'm prompted for a password and it processes the password in the script as a command. Do I need to do something in the ssh_config? known_hosts? authorized_keys? I'm not thrilled with the thought of having the password in a script file. So if there's a better way, I'm all for hearing it! Thanks in advance...
