Shell Programming and Scripting

I have 2 separate systems having same userid with home directory nfs mounted which is shared by both the boxes. I want to make ssh connection from server1 to server2 which should not ask for password. I have ssh installed on both the systems. Can anyone guide me in generating ssh-key using dsa algorithm in such scenario?

Just add the contents of your user's public key into $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys.
To generate the key, type ssh-keygen. There's no reason to rely on DSA anymore, as the RSA patent has expired (I believe). Therefore you can use RSA keys which are much stronger.

Now that I've given you this advice, I should also advise you that by storing the keys on your NFS share, you are making yourself vulnerable... these private keys can be read in plain-text on the wire, and someone can steal them. Therefore, it's better if .ssh is a soft-link to a local filesystem and that the keys are replicated on each host.

Thanks for the reply.

I have tectia ssh installed on the system. I had already tried the suggestion which you made but was not successful. It still asks for the password.
