RE: [PLUG] SSH question

[Mike Pflugfelder <mikep@keyinfosys.com>]

Hey, I've never done this before, but something doesn't seem right...

You copied the identity.pub files to root's home directory.

Are you then using the -l turgon flag as the username to log in as?
Shouldn't you be either putting the files in the ~turgon/.ssh directory, or
trying to log in as root???

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

All right. So I figured I'd try (at home) to get passphrases to work on
my LAN. So I created keys on 2 stations on my (all Linux) LAN. I then
copied the each of .ssh/identity.pub files to the other PC (in the other
PCs .ssh directory) as authorized_keys.

IOW ...

I copied PC #1's identity.pub to PC #2/root/.ssh/authorized keys
I copied PC #2's identity.pub to PC #1/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

I then did (from PC #1)

ssh IP-of-PC#2 -l turgon

Never asked me for the passphrase; only the password of the user turgon.

<GRRRR>

I'm missing something simple, but what?
