Setting up SSH key authentication on Linux/UNIX
From froelix.com - Wiki
Create the .ssh directory on the server (if it doesn't exist yet):
$ mkdir ~/.ssh $ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
On the client run the following commands:
(Don’t enter a passphrase unless you want to type it every time you want to use the key)
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa $ chmod 700 ~/.ssh $ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_dsa $ chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub $ scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub <server hostname>:~/.ssh/
And on the server run these commands:
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 $ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
