Passwordless Logons with SSH

December 31, 2003

Create your keypair:
# ssh-keygen -t rsa
Send the public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to the remote host. It is a plain text file. Store this in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host. If the file exists already, append it to the end of the file on a new line.
Log out of the remote system. Try and log in.
