Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am using public key authentication for login into a remote sftp server (password less login).
so i have set up a password less login according to this link . i have copied the content of my .pub file to remote server's authorized_keys2 file.

i want to find out whether my .pub file content is copied to remote servers authorized_keys2 file or not.
1) can i login to remote server and use cat command to view the contents of authorized_keys2 file in remote server?
2) authorized_keys2 file in remote server will have many servers .pub file content, how can i identify my servers .pub file content?

Can any one explain me how can i identify my servers .pub file's content on remote servers authorized_keys2 file?

1) I don't think anybody will stop you from doing that.
2) As every machine's entry will be one line in authorized keys, you could grep for your .pub file's contents.

Thanks for the reply but if i do not have my .pub file, how can i grep the contents. is there any other way that i can find out which is my .pub file content in remote servers authorized_keys2 file?
does the .pub file contains the server name like informations that is readable?
