I have been facing this problem for the last couple of days. I have 2
remote
Linux Servers located at Mumbai and chennai. I need to copy files to my
other machine in the night. Problem is that scp command asks for password
on
every execution. redhat knowledge base (
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_45_8645.shtm) has highligted a way to use
scp command w/o any password.

Despite me using their steps, i am unable to do the same.

Can some one help me ???


Assuming a passwordless ssh setup between [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] here
is a
checklist for  you :
1)  The file name is $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 for authorization file?
2) In both machines the authorized_keys2 file contains public keys of both
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3) The permissions of the authorized_keys2 is 600 at both places ?
4) The keys are generated using the same protocol ( dsa / rsa )  ( using ->
ssh-keygen -t rsa ) ?
5)  There is  no problem with  the identification ( visibility / mapping)
of hostnames  / ipaddresses  ?
6) Have you restarted sshd service after making the changes ?
7) Can you perform the following passwordless ssh accesses ?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    to   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    to   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    to   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    to   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards,
Sourabh
