Here is what I do (I use this method to access my univ lab machines from

1. Generate a key pair on mom (rsa is the newer algo)
$> ssh-keygen -t rsa
2. Copy the public key to the machine you want to log in to
$> ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3. Then try logging in from mom machine to son machine and verify it works.
4. Note that in the above steps, mom and son actually machine names

ssh server on (son) to use key based authentication. Now the question
is, do I run ssh-keygen on (son) or on (mom)? What I have done is, on
(son) is to:
$ssh-keygen -t dsa
$cd .ssh
$cat id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
I assume I take my id_dsa.pub to (mom) and hook it up with the latest
Filezilla version and Putty? Or do I do the ssh-keygen on (mom) and
add the "id_dsa.pub" to (son)"~/.ssh/authorized_keys?

when I am using mother. :)
