Re: Question about ssh no login

I demand that sk8terg1rl may or may not have written...

I've implemented ssh no logins between 2 computers. Basically it involved
generating a public & private key pair with no passphrase and appending the
public keys to "authorized_hosts2" in the ".ssh" folder for either machine.

How do I run commands in the remote machine from the local machine's bash?

You don't.

I tried a simple script on the local machine containing "ssh
remotemachine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; ls; exit". It logs in fine but ignores
the rest of the script.

Wrong - the rest of the script will be executed on the local machine when
that ssh instance is terminated.

You mean this:
ssh remotemachine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ls
