ssh key generation

[Indrajit_1]

Hi All;

i have tow Servers, HostA & HostB. After loggin in HostB, if i ssh to HostA it should not ask me for password. i think, i need to re-generate ssh key (/home/user1/.ssh2/hostkey/xxx.pub). How do i go ahead and generate a new ssh key? Need help.

Cheers;
Indrajit

Hi,

Are you working with hostbased authentication?
Check your sshd_config for the follwoing:
HostbasedAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no

And further the suggestion RAC already provided.

GoodLuck

Hi,

Don't forget to restart sshd daemon when modifying the sshd_config file.
