Maybe this is a better method:
Once you have a key generated:
ssh-copy-id -i <keyname.pub> user@machinename
Once you do the above, you can login to <machinename> as <user> without needing the password.
This is *exactly* what i am tryng to do. The thing about this is, that you need to type a passphrase to unlock the key every time you connect, so it is not very useful. With ssh agent, it "remembers" your key passphrase, so you dont have to type it in every time. Thanks, H
Not in my case.... I hit enter for the passphrase when I make the key. Maybe that's your problem. I never, ever have been asked for the passphrase. (Please reply only to the list)
