# No Password login for ssh-3.2.2 by J.Heslop 2002-12-18

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 ~/.ssh2

2) Generate key on local machine:

# ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t dsa -P

This will create a id_2048_dsa_a and id_dsa_2048_a.pub in your ~/.ssh2/ directory.

3) Create a identification file with the new key name in it:

# echo IdKey id_dsa_2048_a > identification

4) Copy public key over to remote machine:

# scp id_dsa_2048_a.pub ruser@remote:/home/user/.ssh2/local.pub

5) Make an authorization entry on remote machine:

remote# echo key local.pub >> ~ruser/.ssh2/authorization

6) Make sure authorization and identification have correct permissions:

# chmod 640 ~/.ssh2/identification

remote# chmod 640 ~ruser/.ssh2/authorization
