ssh-keygen

Prashant Zanwar_4 — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 11:50:06 GMT

I am trying to generate key on one host and copying it to other host.
1> one host I am just having ssh version 1,
which has ssh-keygen and generates id_dsa or id_rsa or identity..
2> I have ssh version 2 on other host, where I want to copy keys..
How to go about this..
I update authorization file, or authorized_keys2.. ?

Please reply

This is what I do:

As the userid you want to use, cd ~USER
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
cd .ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa

That will create id_rsa and id_rsa.pub

Add the contents of id_rsa.pub to the ~USER/.ssh/authorized_keys file on a remote host (you may have to create the file if not there already).

Then, as that USER, you should be able to ssh without being prompted for a password.
