SSH configuration

Todd McDaniel_1 — Wed, 08 Sep 2004 14:07:39 GMT

Well Im posting b/c I cant search the forums for some reason. The site doesnt return any results no matter what i type.

My question is I have Secure_Shell A.03.61.002 HP-UX Secure Shell.

My DBA is trying to access from one box to the other and cant keeps saying that he doesnt have login privileges to or from either box.

But while as root I can go back and forth with ssh . However, one way it requires me to enter the password.

I know there are posts I have read on these topics but I cant search the forum for some reason.

When he is trying to login on the other machine:

** You do NOT have login priviledges to this machine **

He can issue commands... like:

/usr/bin/ssh /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/symcli64/bin/symdg list

My other question is how do get it to NOT ask me for a password...

It does for me as root one direction, but not the other way.

Hi Todd,

to allow a unix id to login through ssh across servers you need to generate keys with null passphrase. This link explains the situations where you might have a mix of multiple versions of SSH.

Hope this helps.

Basically

as root on both boxes

ssh-keygen -t rsa (enter)
(enter)
(enter)

Put the id_rsa.pub files in the .ssh/authorized_keys file of the other root account

ssh once to the other box to accept the key.

You should be all set, of course this is a simplified process, but...

if you need more help let us know

Glad to know it works for you.

I love ssh, just becareful with your setup it is easy to get on the wrong box with a two way trust.
