passwordless entry using ssh from one user to a different user on the same server

Hi,

We have a requirement to do passwordless entry from one user to a different user on the same AIX server using ssh keys.

Can some one help me with this?


Thanks in advance,

Just copy the source user rsa/dsa public key to the destination user .ssh/authorized_keys file.
