passwordless ssh

[rahul_rtns]

Hi,

I want to have a passwordless ssh from let serverA to serverB. I already tried succesfully for passwordless ssh. But this is from local user on serverA to local user on serverB. Now i want to do that from root user of serverA to that local user on serverB.

I have checked in root directory of serverA. .ssh file is already there and also in that .ssh directory  id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files are already present. May be someone before has created them that i am not aware of.

I am having concern that can i gererate again the private and public keys in root user and should append it to authorized_keys file in serverB or first i have to delete the old .ssh folder and its contents in root.   Or what is the correct procedure for that.

Regards,

You should read the topics I mentioned in your other thread:

Also, a forum search for ssh may provide more helpful info.

>Now I want to do that from root user of serverA to that local user on serverB.

ssh doesn't really care who the source user is as long as the keys are there on serverB.

>should append it to authorized_keys file in serverB or first I have to delete the old .ssh folder and its contents in root.

You should just append, especially if you have already added other user's keys on serverB.
