Hi Ben, Try renaming .ssh/authorized_keys to .ssh/authorized_keys2 and make sure that you chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys2 Regards, Andre -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Kevan Sent: 23 July 2008 05:54 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: SSH Keys for password less ssh sessions On Tuesday 22 July 2008 08:10:02 pm Sanjay Chakraborty wrote: > I do not know why you are writing a script for this.

It's quit a bit easier to run ssh-copy-id user@$i then it is to do the whole copy command, then append it to the current authorized_keys file. With that said, the method you talk about (using DSA does not work). On another server with identical /etc/ssh/sshd_config it works .. what's the deal? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list DISCLAIMER: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential to DataCash Group plc and its group companies.
