====== Setting up SSH ====== On the local workstation: * Open up Terminal.app * cd .ssh * ssh-keygen -t rsa1 (creates an RSA1 key pair for SSH protocol version 1 communication) * Choose default location, and leave the passphrase empty. * ssh-keygen -t dsa (creates a DSA key pair for SSH protocol version 2 communication) * Choose default location, and leave the passphrase empty. * ssh-keygen -t rsa (creates an RSA key pair for SSH protocol version 2 communication) * Copy identity.pub, id_dsa.pub and id_rsa.pub to the remote SSH server. On the remote server: * cat identity.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (appends the line in the file to the end of authorized_keys, for SSH protocol version 1 communication) * cat id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 (appends the line in the file to the end of authorized_keys2, for SSH protocol version 2 communication) * cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 * Make sure your .ssh directory is NOT group/world readable. (chmod -R 0600 ~/.ssh will take care of this) * SSH to the remote server after creating and moving your SSH keys into place. You will be prompted to accept the remote server's host key.
