Passwordless connectivity to another Unix machine
Hey,

I need to setup a passwordless connectivity from one Unix machine to another unix machine.

I have the passwords for both the machines.

Need from
user@host1 to
user@host2

Please help.


Thanks,
Robin

Please use the search feature of the site first. Look for "passwordless authentication" or "public key authentication"

welcome to SSH
- IMHO, SSH (Secure SHell) seems a good solution for your problem ;

- it all starts with `man ssh' , assuming your unix flavour has it at all ;

( otherwise , take a look at OpenSSH -- or SSH - Secure Managed File Transfer, Secure FTP Replacement, Mainframe FTP if you prefer to pay for support )

good luck, and success !

ssh-keygen -t rsa
above command will ask you to enter passphrase but don't enter anything simply hit enter twice
and then cd /home/username/.ssh and execute the following command
scp id_rsa.pub 192.168.0.100:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys2
afterward when you shh to 192.168.0.100 you will not be asked for a password
