i wanted to generate ssh keys so that i can include the public key in the remote sever, so that for subsequent logins, i can do away with the keying in of the password. I consulted the man ssh-keygen man pages.
I have the following questions.
1.How are the identity, id_dsa and id_rsa files generated? Does it mean that if i run ssh-keygen -t rsa1 , the id_rsa file is generated? If yes, then what is the value to specify if i want to generate the identity file?
Am i correct to assume the following:
if i supply rsa1 as the value for option -t, identity and identity.pub are generated?
if i supply rsa as the value for option -t, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub are generated?
if i supply dsa as the value for option -t, id_dsa and id_dsa.pub are generated?

Just do either ssh-keygen -t dsa or ssh-keygen -t rsa to generate the id file and the id pub file. Don't bother with rsa1 since you'll want to disable protocol 1 in sshd_config on the server anyway, since its not secure to use that.

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has a step-by-step instruction set for setting up ssh keys? I've gone through many of the manuals online (most seem to be from the same source) and it's a little bit unclear when the documentation is talking about the server versus the client machine. I'm missing... (1 Reply)
