Nice page, but it can be enhanced ;-)
Thanks. I know, every page can be enhanced. :-)
* Copying the ssh pubkey to the remote server can be done in one step: [1]
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@host \ "mkdir -p .ssh; cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys"
That is nice. I just like to do it in steps when I explain something. That way people will learn something. Otherwise I would just write a scrip and say: run this. (Hey. Nice idea. :-)
* If you use the default filename for your key, you don't have to give the filename with every ssh call (or to use an alias): ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 # without -f filename You can then login with simply ssh user@host # without -i filename
It still asks for the password and the point is that it shouldn't. At least that happens with me.
* "no passphrase" isn't something I like...
If I don't use that, I can't run a remote script automagially. It keeps asking for a passphrase. Now why would I eneter a passpfrase if I son't want to enter a password. I might need a real example on how to run a remote script. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
