I know there's an echo 1 liner command that will do a new line for me, I think same with fdisk too. Dont want to press "enter,enter,enter" just to finish the ssh-keygen -t rsa. Hope you understand what i mean here.
Thanks
Hello friends,
I wanna to make new script which work as i defined below

Hi All,
I have a set of 100 servers , where users login through ssh, with a set of around 4-5 users.
We have copied over the public keys to all the servers, for a passwordless authentication.
Is it possible to block the ssh-keygen command for the users , so that the users that login do not... (5 Replies)
Hi,
I have two Unix servers A and B. I have a script in server A. I want to connect to server B from A using ssh only and without giving passwords everytime i connect. I went through other posts regarding this and I generated a public key in server A and copied that in server B. Now when I... (3 Replies)

I am new to unix, recently i was exploring password less remote connection to the ftp server and in that I was exploring the ssh-keygen utility, that it generates private & public keys that helps in transmitting files in encrypted format.Could you please explain me in detail about the... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I was going thruough the password less authentication of keygen-ssh that will help us in generating keys...One thing that is not clear to me that if in nearby future we conncet to remote ftp server in that case now we need to only provide the user id itself that is password would not be...

Hi ,
I am trying to create public key on my AIX server on other than home directory.However the command does not ask for

ssh-add
SSH-ADD(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ADD(1)NAME
ssh-add -- adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent
SYNOPSIS
ssh-add [-cDdLlXx] [-t life] [file ...]
ssh-add -s pkcs11
ssh-add -e pkcs11
DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa,
~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/identity. After loading a private key, ssh-add will try to load corresponding certificate information from the
filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to the name of the private key file. Alternative file names can be given on the command line.
If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add
retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
The authentication agent must be running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable must contain the name of its socket for ssh-add to work.
The options are as follows:
-c Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation before being used for authentication. Confirmation is performed by
the SSH_ASKPASS program mentioned below. Successful confirmation is signaled by a zero exit status from the SSH_ASKPASS program,
rather than text entered into the requester.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-d Instead of adding identities, removes identities from the agent. If ssh-add has been run without arguments, the keys for the default
identities will be removed. Otherwise, the argument list will be interpreted as a list of paths to public key files and matching
keys will be removed from the agent. If no public key is found at a given path, ssh-add will append .pub and retry.
-e pkcs11
Remove keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-s pkcs11
Add keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.
-t life
Set a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format specified in
sshd_config(5).
-X Unlock the agent.
-x Lock the agent with a password.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add does
not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified 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.
(Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Identifies the path of a UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with the agent.
FILES
~/.ssh/identity
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_dsa
Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of the user.
Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that ssh-add ignores identity files if they are accessible by others.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if the specified command fails, and 2 if ssh-add is unable to contact the authentication agent.
