This works for me on RHEL5: On the client: 1. Generate a private/public keypair with an empty password: $ pwd /home/username $ ssh-keygen -t dsa 2. Copy the generated public key to the server: $ scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub username@servername:/home/username On the server: 1. Rename the public key: $ mv id_dsa.pub authorized_keys 2. Copy the authorized_keys file to the user's .ssh directory. If the .ssh directory does not exist, create it and modify its permissions as follows: $ mkdir .ssh $ chown 700 .ssh/ $ mv authorized_keys .ssh/ 3. Check that the authorized_keys file has the following permissions: $ -rw-r--r-- 1 username username 599 Mar 21 10:55 authorized_keys 4. From the client, log on to the server. You should not be prompted for a password. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sanjay Chakraborty Sent: 21 May 2008 01:11 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: SSH without inputing password Hi there, One other thing do not change the permission level for authorized_keys file and .ssh key directory.
