Configure SSH Organic Design procedure |
To set up key-based login, first create a pub/private key combo:
ssh-keygen -t rsaThat will create the files (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub) in your ~/.ssh folder. You then copy the pub one to a file called authorized_keys in your ~/.ssh folder in any machines you want to log in to without using password.
You may need to adjust your /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow it by setting RSAAuthentication and PubkeyAuthentication to yes and also check that the file it expects the pub key to be in is indeed ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the AuthorizedKeysFile setting.
You can also prevent password login if you like as key-based login is stronger, just set the PasswordAuthentication setting to no.
