Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has a step-by-step instruction set for setting up ssh keys? I've gone through many of the manuals online (most seem to be from the same source) and it's a little bit unclear when the documentation is talking about the server versus the client machine. I'm missing... (1 Reply)
Hi everyone,
i wanted to generate ssh keys so that i can include the public key in the remote sever, so that for subsequent logins, i can do away with the keying in of the password. I consulted the man ssh-keygen man pages. "..Normally each user wishing to use SSH with RSA or DSA... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I have ssh keys (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub). However, every once in a while, someone deletes these keys.
here's what i want to do :
1. on my server, it will ssh user@password into the target machine(where ssh keys are located).
2. check the date/filesize of id_rsa, id_rsa.pub).

I could use some help with my ssh keys and agent.
This is the issue. I have 2 different UNIX systems at work. One is the normal Solaris servers with my uid being the same throughout all the servers. I now have a different system for my desktop. A contractor came in and installed some SUN... (0 Replies)

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above.
SEE ALSO ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
