Hello:
You should be appending your keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. The steps in
your previous message were correct. To reiterate.
1) Generate your keys on your local machine:
- ssh-keygen -t rsa
2) When prompted for a password, do not enter one. This will generate a
password-less key called id_rsa, and a public key id_rsa.pub
3) Copy the id_rsa.pub key over to the machine you want to ssh to. NOTE:
change the filename first or you may overwrite your existing RSA key for
your remote host. Like this:
- local: cp id_rsa.pub local.key
- scp local.key remote:
- cat local.key >> .ssh/authorized_keys
At this point, your remote machine should accept a passwordless login from
that "local" machine.
Mike
