Passwordless SCP

[M.Thomas]

we want to establish a passwordless SCP connection between our HP-UX and solaris boxes for user "Oracle". Can someone guide me here please.

Thanks

Login as Oracle on HP-UX server and then issue following commands:

hpux:$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
hpux:$ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub Solaris:/home/oracle/.ssh/authorized_keys

IT2007, that's a little dangerous if someone had already set up some stuff in authorized_keys. All that would be wiped out. Better off just scping the file over and then cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys.

OK i just found that user oracle uses "oracle" on one box and oravst on another Box. would it still be possible to setup since otracle id is not the same on two boxes?

Thanks

Thomas
