Uh, not sure. Head spinning now. ;)
1. I have a Mac, SuSE server and a FreeBSD server.
2. I can ssh from my Mac to SuSE server without having to type in my password.
3. I can ssh from my Mac to FreeBSD server without having to type in my
password.
4. I can do #2 and #3 above because I ran "ssh-keygen -t rsa" on my Mac and
copied the id_rsa.pub to my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys files on the SuSE and
FreeBSD servers.
5. I ran the same "ssh-keygen -t rsa" on the SuSE server and copied the
id_rsa.pub to the FreeBSD.
6. I canNOT ssh from the SuSE server to the FreeBSD server withOUT typing in my
password.
7. When I ssh from SuSE server to FreeBSD server, I get prompted:
Enter passphrase for key '/home/myusername/.ssh/id_rsa':
8. I want to be able to ssh from SuSE server to FreeBSD server because I want
to run scp via a cron job.
I noticed you made a distinction between password and passphrase. Could you
please explain the difference?
