Thank you Stephen, Marshall, Marin, Will and Wayne. I hope I didn't forget anyone. I was able to get this working with your excellent assistance. Have a fabulous weekend!

Create a key on A as oracle. Call it rsa_script_key and use an empty passphrase. 2. copy the contents of rsa_script_key.pub to the file <ias-home>/.ssh/authorized_keys on B. 3. Invoke ssh from A as oracle: $ ssh -i ~/.ssh/rsa_script_key ias@B -t /u01/ias/scripts/test_script.sh .ssh directories on both ends must have permission of 700 or better or ssh will fail. You might need to play with StrictModes in sshd_config. I think with 3.0 ans above if your home directory is 755 or better StrictModes won't complain but this threshold has changed over the years. When all else fails, check in /var/log/messages for hints. > 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.
