RE: SSH without inputing password

This works for me on RHEL5:

On the client:

1. Generate a private/public keypair with an empty password:

$ pwd
/home/username

$ ssh-keygen -t dsa

2. Copy the generated public key to the server:

$ scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub username@servername:/home/username


On the server:

1. Rename the public key:

$ mv id_dsa.pub authorized_keys

2. Copy the authorized_keys file to the user's .ssh directory. If the
.ssh directory does not exist, create it and modify its permissions as
follows:

$ mkdir .ssh
$ chown 700 .ssh/

$ mv authorized_keys .ssh/

3. Check that the authorized_keys file has the following permissions:

$ -rw-r--r-- 1 username username 599 Mar 21 10:55 authorized_keys


4. From the client, log on to the server. You should not be prompted
for a password.

Hi

Have you tried this method before or is suitable for you

1) generating a rsa or dsa key pair o a local host,
2) concatenate id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub to the
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
or
authorized_keys2 file on the remote host

After that you can easily ssh from local to remote host without
password
issue

But what I wanted is:

1> ssh remote_host
2> input password automatically for me
3> let me login into it successfully and stay there

Do you know me? Thank you.

Hi.

You can make a simple perl wrapper using Net::SSH::Perl (see
$ssh->shell).

Cheers.
