SSH authentication

[Jeeshan]

Hi all

I do want to password less SSH between HP-UX boxes. all steps have been followed from the attached doc.

but when i want to connect using "ssh " it gives me following output

#ssh or ssh ahsan@server
Enter passphrase for key '/home/ahsan/.ssh/id_rsa':


why????

OS:11.11

Instead of copying a html page, why not give the URL, so we can search the rest of the chapter:

Did you use "ENTER" for the passphrase question? If not, you will have to enter it each time, unless you use ssh-agent to remember it:
$ ssh-agent $SHELL
$ ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/elvis/.ssh/id_dsa: ***********
Identity added: /home/elvis/.ssh/id_dsa

Salam Ahsan,

Check the ownership and permissions of the home directory and .ssh folder.
