I am currently setting up rdiff-backup to use ssh to connect and remotely backup and retrieve data. I am doing so by creating rsa keys for each server and copying the relevant key to the /.ssh folder on the relevant server.

Hi,
I am running a script from a client machine X which does "SSH" to around 100 other machines in a farm and invokes a local script on each of those machines. Local script localscript.sh on each of those 100 target machines, does some machine specific function like fetch the specific machine's... (1 Reply)

Hi folks,
What I want to do is to check if there is an instance of running vlc on a remote server, then kill it, and start it again. The code I came up with is:

set timeout -1
spawn ssh \"$1@$2\" \"$4\"

I have a UniVerse database running on a Red Hat EL3 server. If I am on the server console my software can call xpdf giving the name of a target file and it displays very nicely on the console.

Hi, It's a Solaris 10 zone. I can ssh to other systems without problems, but can not ssh to it (output attached). I don't think there is a firewall here. /etc/ipf/ipf.conf contains nothing.
What could be the problem cause? Please help. Thank you in advance!

Got a strange problem.
I have 4 Solaris servers all configured the same, Solaris 10 x86 update 10.
When I try to ssh from one Solaris 10 server to another server ssh hangs.
I have an identical server and when I try this everything works fine.
The weird thing is if I am root on the server... (1 Reply)

hi Gurus,
Have been struggling with this for a while
I have 2 servers , lets say local A and remote B, I need to use both as a part of a pipeline. The folder structure is shared between the two, so I can access the same files and folders from both A and B.
When I try to ssh into B from A,... (15 Replies)

ssh-add
ssh-add(1) User Commands ssh-add(1)NAME
ssh-add - add RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent
SYNOPSIS
ssh-add [-lLdDxX] [-t life] [ file ]...
DESCRIPTION
The ssh-add utility adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it attempts to add
all of the files $HOME/.ssh/identity (RSA v1), $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA v2), and $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa (DSA v2) that exist. If more than one of
the private keys exists, an attempt to decrypt each with the same passphrase will be made before reprompting for a different passphrase.
The passphrase is read from the user's tty or by running the program defined in SSH_ASKPASS (see below).
The authentication agent must be running.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Instead of adding the identity, this option removes the identity from the agent.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-t life Sets a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format speci-
fied in sshd(1M).
-x Locks the agent with a password.
-X Unlocks the agent.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DISPLAY If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If
SSH_ASKPASS ssh-add does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program spec-
ified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from
a .Xsession or related script.
SSH_AUTH_SOCK Identifies the path of a unix-domain socket used to communicate with the agent.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
FILES
These files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Notice that ssh-add ignores a file if it is accessible by others. It is possible
to specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file.
If these files are stored on a network file system it is assumed that either the protection provided in the file themselves or the trans-
port layer of the network file system provides sufficient protection for the site policy. If this is not the case, then it is recommended
the key files are stored on removable media or locally on the relevant hosts.
Recommended names for the DSA and RSA key files:
$HOME/.ssh/identity Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user for protocol version 1.
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub Contains the public part of the RSA authentication identity of the user for protocol version 1.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa Contains the private DSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub Contains the public part of the DSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa Contains the private RSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Contains the public part of the RSA authentication identity of the user.
