Read the SSH documentation. It is easy to generate a private and public key pair (see man ssh-keygen), then you just need to copy the public key to user2's .ssh/authorized_keys file) and you can connect as that user with no password. Note that the ~user2/.ssh directory permissions must be drwx------ (700).

I have setup ssh for passwordless login.But still it prompts me for a password.

I have generated the key pairs(without the pass phrase) , added to the authorisedkeys list.

/export/home/user1>ssh user1@localhost
user1@localhost's password:

Am I missing something at all?

Well, it looks like it's not using the key. See if you can glean any error message when running ssh with the verbose flag. Also check the ssh daemon's log file, and if all else fails, if you can run that too with verbose messages, you might be able to find the problem with that. But usually it's something simple, like too lax permissions on the key files.

Also, the authorized_keys file uses the American spelling, and don't forget the underscore.

Now I have set-up the Auth keys.But what I am scared is after the user do ssh and logged on , will be able to execute commands owned by the master user?

If so is it possible to avoid that?

Setting up a key pair to allow a normal user access does not grant them any super-user privileges. It just allows them to log in without typing a password.
