Writing passwords every time you log into another Unix machine using ssh disturbs you?
It could be much simpler:
[[email protected]:~]$ ssh another-machine Linux 2.6.32.11. Things will be bright in P.M. A cop will shine a light in your face. [email protected]:~$
Solution:
Home:
1. Add to /etc/hosts (as root):
123.124.125.136 another-machine
2. Add to ~/.ssh/config (as user):
Host another-machine User codesmuggler
3. Generate keys (as user):
ssh-keygen -t rsa
4. Copy id_rsa.pub (public key – very important!) to another-machine.
Another-machine:
5. Add public key to authorized_keys:
cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys rm id_rsa.pub
Its everything! You can log into another-machine using ssh without need of telling password and using only two words:
ssh another-machine
