# No Password login for OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, by J.Heslop 2003-12-13

Throughout the test replace "local" with your local machine name ie: footon, replace "remote" with the remote machine name ie: gunny, and replace the "ruser" with the remote user you want to log in as with no password ie: system.

1) Go into user .ssh directory:

cd ~/.ssh

2) Generate key on local machine:

ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t dsa

Put in no password just hit enter twice and name the file id_2048_dsa  This will create an id_2048_dsa and id_dsa_2048.pub in your ~/.ssh/ directory.

3) Copy the id_2048_dsa to identity and id_2048_dsa.pub to identity.pub

cp id_2048_dsa identity
cp id_2048_dsa.pub identity.pub

4) Copy public key over to remote machine:

scp id_dsa_2048.pub ruser@remote:.ssh/local.pub

5) Make an authorization entry on remote machine:

remote# cat local.pub >> ~ruser/.ssh/authorized_keys
