Hi Folkes,

I need to login to the remote unix machine with out password.

for thet i did:
$ssh-keygen -t rsa

Afetr the ssh-keygen

su - user
cat .ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh username@xx.xx.xx.xx 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

First time it will prompt for password for copying
.ssh/authorized_keys'

Then u can log without password.

hi thanks for you replay.

cat .ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh username@xx.xx.xx.xx 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

in that
username@xx.xx.xx.xx is for which host same host ip or the client host ip need to use?

What, exactly, is "the remote unix machine"?

uname -a

What are the client systems ("server B" and
"server C")?

> Where i have to generate the key [...]

With some exceptions, no one cares where you
generate the keys. Who does what where
depends on who is trying to keep what secret
from whom. Normally, the client makes the
keys, keeps the private key data, and sends
the public key data to the server. But, if
you don't care who sees what, then you could
make all the keys anywhere, and copy
everything to where it is needed.

And what, exactly, happened when you did
that?

Normally, adding "-v" (or "-vv", or "-vvv")
to an "ssh" command will provide some useful
diagnostic messages.

A Forum search should find many old threads
where practically all of this has been
explained many times. "man ssh" may also
have some value.

Hi,

In order to set up ssh to only accept login by public key and not interactive login, the following changes are needed to sshd_config

PermitRootLogin without-password

Change: (remove the # and save the file)
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
to
PubkeyAuthentication yes

You must restart the sshd daemon next to implement:
hp-ux(HP may change this with no notice):
/sbin/init.d/secsh stop
/sbin/init.d/secsh start

Make sure you have placed a public key file from a system you want to login and tested it first or your access will be console, hands on the keyboard only. That can be a big problem on remote systems.
