setting up ssh-keys

I'm tired of looking this up every time.

Applies to OpenSSH only.

on Athena (my computer):


  • cd .ssh
  • ssh-keygen -t dsa -- creates id_dsa and id_dsa.pub
  • copied id_dsa.pub to server, put it in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Should now be able to log into server without a password. Do the same thing, swaping local computer and remote server to go back and forth.
