Found this, which may do the trick: http://wp.uberdose.com/2006/10/16/ssh-automatic-login/ -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Johan Booysen Sent: 20 March 2008 08:58 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: host keys authentication I have an FTP server using SSH for secure file uploads/downloads. Users are chrooted into their home directories, and it works very well. Now we have the requirement that a client wants to upload/download via some or other automated process or script, so I need to work out how to do that via host keys or something similar. I understand generating keys using ssh-keygen, and so on, but I'm not sure of the specifics of allowing a user or machine on the client side to automatically authenticate using public keys, and making sure that they are then still chrooted into their home folder on the FTP server. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been googling it, but haven't really hit upon a good source of information for this kind of setup yet. Much appreciated. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
