======SSH / rysnc without password====== make sure the same versions of ssh are on both machines (open version 3.1+ works best for HP-UX boxes) \\ need to configure client (machine connecting from) and server (machine connecting to) \\ on client: create dsa and rsa public and private keys with the following: \\ cd ~/.ssh ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa this creates id_dsa, id_dsa.pub, id_rsa, id_rsa.pub - optionally can enter a 'passphrase' when prompted \\ on server: \\ cd ~/.ssh/ vi authorized_keys2 \\ copy the id_dsa.pub and id_rsa.pub from client into authorized_keys file \\ make sure permissions 644 on authorized_keys \\ Also: chmod 0700 /home//.ssh -R Repeat process for creating keys on server, and copy the .pub keys to the client's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. \\ Should now be able to connect without being prompted for password. \\ To restart sshd: kill running sshd process \\ now issue: /sbin/init.d/sshd Or for Red Hat systems: service sshd restart
