I stopped sshd and edited sshd_config and moved from port 22 to port 2200. Started sshd and I was able to ssh into server F without entering a password. When I moved the port back to 22 I was prompted for a password again.
This is how I am running sshd for testing on port 2200 while running the system sshd on port 22. debug mode is 3 in this example

I have a bit of trouble working a passwordless SSH from UNIX to Cygwin running windows 2k3. Here are some details. I AM able to SSH from the Windows box to the UNIX box using the keys. Also, I'm able to SSH from UNIX to Windows w/o the keys. However, when I try to do it with the keys... (9 Replies)
Hi everyone,
I have a quick/newb question:
I know that a public key is used to encrypt data and a private key is used to decrypt data but who keeps the public/private keys??
Does the Web Server hold both?
Does the Web Server have the public key and does the client have the private key? ... (3 Replies)

Hi everybody,
I need some help on writing a script that is able to remote copy file to one server. I already created this types of scripts, and works ok as long as this server I want to copy from is access through telnet. Here is how I do it:

Hi,
What tool is used to generate public and private keys for SCP?
Do you have an example script that generates these keys, puts them in files and then another example script that references them from SCP?
Thanks, (9 Replies)
Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to check if an rsa public key corresponds to a private key and hence return success or failure. Currently i am using the command
diff <( ssh-keygen -y -e -f "$PRIVKEY" ) <( ssh-keygen -y -e -f "$PUBLICKEY" )
and its solving my purpose. This is in... (1 Reply)

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.
