This can be done with "authorized_keys". It's been some time since I set this up, but I remember the procedure being something like this:
On the host you will be ssh'ing from do: ssh-keygen -t rsa You will be prompted for a file to save the key to and a passphrase. Make the passphrase empty. This will create ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/id_rsa.pub. Append your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the host you will be ssh'ing to. Then you should be able to just do "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and not receive a password prompt (the first time it will prompt that it has added the host to your list of known hosts). Naturally you would need to know root on the "to" host in order to append its authorized_keys file. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: John Nichel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 12:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ssh without password If you have an account on B, ssh to it with your username..... ssh -l username machinename but you'll need your account password.
