passwd less login

How to enable passwdless login in ssh or rsh between two machines.

OS is Hp-ux 11.11

I have tried adding hostname in hosts.equiv, hosts.allow and .rhosts

but it is not working.

What are the steps to do it?

For HP-UX, you use rlogin or remsh, not rsh.
You just add the source machine to ~/.rhosts and make sure the permission is 600.
Note: Using ssh is much more secure.

Hello,

For ssh, you should create public and private dsa keys using 'ssh-key-gen -t dsa' on local-host. Then scp the generated public key (.pub) to the remote host. This key must be appended to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file

If you need also access without password from the other host to the first one, you should repeat the procedure inverting the machines.

Best regards,
Horia.

Hi,
Find solution,
Here we want to do SSH login and SCP form server A to Server B

Server A side
â ¢ Login with user id and password
â ¢ Create a directory named .ssh
â ¢ Run the command for generating the public key $ssh-keygen â t dsa â f .ssh/id_dsa
â ¢ This command will generate id_dsa file under .ssh
â ¢ In server B create directory .ssh user home directory.
â ¢ Copy id_dsa file from server A to this directory
â ¢ $cat id_dsa >.ssh/authorized_keys
â ¢ Change permission of authorized_keys permission to 700.
â ¢ Now try scp from server A to B first time it will ask connecting presently select yes.
