I have an issue with password less authentication via ssh ( v2)
I have two servers Server A and Server B, following are the server details
I have copied the public keys across both the servers and pasted them in authorized_keys file. Following are the things i have checked
a] .ssh -- direcotry permission is set to 700 on both boxes
b] authorized_keys file is 640 in terms of permission
The issue is I m able to connect to Server A from Server B as user xyz ( whose keys have been exchanged for paswordless auth) .When I try the same from Server B to Server A I fail and it prompts me for a password.
I am writing a script that needs to access various servers some of which are not ssh enabled. In order to access the ssh enabled servers I am using the following command to generate the public key :
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Is there a similar command for the other servers as well.

Hi all,

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine (presumably using a login password, so password authentication should be
enabled, unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities)
It also changes the permissions of the remote user's home, ~/.ssh, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to remove group writability (which would oth-
erwise prevent you from logging in, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in its configuration).
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary)
