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)
Hello*! I have problems with public keys. On one side i have Solaris 10, and on other side is HP UNIX. I created public keys on Solaris with "ssh-keygen -t rsa", append id_rsa.pub key to ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys on remote machine, and tried to connect with ssh without password. But for some...

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)
I have 2 systems A and B
I need to do a passwd less authentication inorder to send a file from system B to system A automatically(using sftp)
for this i did the following
I generated ssh-keygen -t dsa on system B, copied this key(id_dsa.pub) into the authorized_keys file on system A... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I've generated and posted pub. keys in the source system and the target. However, it is still prompting me for the password.
Steps that I have taken.
1. Generated ssh keys : ssh-keygen. It created two files.
1. .ssh/id_rsa
2. .ssh/id_rsa.pub.

Hi frnz,
I work in an environment, where I need to login to multiple UNIX sessions(Always types my password when prompted for)
I heard of ssh keys which provides us a valid authentication and that avoids us typing the password.
Now I want to generate the ssh keys and use in my... (2 Replies)
Not specifically a mac question, but it's what I am using.

Hello,
I could use some help with my ssh keys and agent.

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_ed25519_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_ed25519_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.
