SSH

• Setup the passphrase authentication
  1. generate a DSA key

     $ssh-keygen -t dsa
     

  2. put the public key in authorized keys in the remote host

     $scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub name@remort.host:
     $ssh name@remort.host
     $mkdir .ssh
     $chmod 700 .ssh
     $cd .ssh
     $touch authorized_keys2
     $chmod 600 authorized_keys2
     $cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
     $rm ~/id_dsa.pub
     

  3. in the AOSC department servers, follow below instead of the previous step

     $cd .ssh
     $cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
     $chmod 600 authorized_keys2
