Hi,
Awesome article..

The above procedure helps you to login from master node (say) to slave node (say). To do passwordless login from slave node to master, create a keypair in master node also and copy that in slave node.

In the entire process it would be better to chande the permission of the file id_rsa.pub to 600.

I had tried in my system and is working fine..
Thanx.

airtonix: ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/airtonix.edge.local -C “airtonix@edge.local” && cat ~/.ssh/airtonix.edge.local.pub | ssh airtonix@edge.local ‘cat – >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys’ orzin.local is the client edge.local is the server. this doesn’t work. however from the servers point of view : ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/airtonix.orzin.local.id_dsa -C “airtonix@orzin.local” && cat ~/.ssh/airtonix.orzin.local.id_dsa.pub | ssh airtonix@orzin.local ‘cat – >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys’ Does work. so in summary, I can passwordless login from edge to orzin, but not from orzin to edge. any ideas

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/airtonix.edge.local -C “airtonix@edge.local” && cat ~/.ssh/airtonix.edge.local.pub | ssh airtonix@edge.local ‘cat – >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys’

orzin.local is the client
edge.local is the server.

this doesn’t work.

however from the servers point of view :

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/airtonix.orzin.local.id_dsa -C “airtonix@orzin.local” && cat ~/.ssh/airtonix.orzin.local.id_dsa.pub | ssh airtonix@orzin.local ‘cat – >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys’

Does work.

so in summary, I can passwordless login from edge to orzin, but not from orzin to edge.

any ideas

I’m not sure what you mean.

I wouldn’t use it in a production environment. I use it on my home network for convenience. There is always a trade-off between security and convenience – you’ll have to make your own assessment of where you are comfortable on that continuum.

Also mention the need for both the users (local and remote) to have a home directory setup. What are the required settings related to this?
