Re: Pass SSH password automatically

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If you run ssh-keygen -t rsa1 that's right (copy identity.pub--default file name--to authorized_keys) but if you've run ssh-keygen -t dsa (it's a good idea to have all three keys, also -t rsa), then you might want to copy id_dsa.pub (default file name) to authorized_keys2. This only works without a password if there's no passphrase.
