Hello all,
I've been setting up a number of YDL machines with SSH and would like it so that
I can ssh/scp to machines from a central workstation without having to type the password in.
(So that I can use ssh/scp in scripts without putting passwords in)
I have 2 types of machines. Ones running CS 1.1 (using the install-ssh script) and
those running CS 1.2 with ssh version 1.1.27 installed. Here's what I did.
1) I used ssh-key-gen to create keys on computer X, the computer I want to administrate from.
2) Using scp, I send the identity.pub file over to the other computers to a temp dir.
3) I ssh to the other computers one at a time and rename/concat the identity.pub file from
the temp dir to the .ssh directory of the same user.
4) I exit and the next time I ssh to the machine, I am not prompted for a password on any of
the CS 1.2 machines. However, on the CS 1.1 machines, I am prompted.
Additional notes: The administrating machine is a Sun Workstation
CS 1.1 is running on two Performa 6360s
CS 1.2 is running on a Performa 6360s and two PowerPCs
I'd like to know why the CS 1.1 machines aren't configured properly.
