Re: [PLUG] Setting up SSH public key on OSX


Paul,

Here's a script I wrote that runs on OSX to create and manage your
SSH keys, pushing them as necessary to a remote Linux server:

I mailed this tip to my Unix mailing list in Nov 2010.  If you'd
like to be added to any of my mailing lists, see:

I'm trying to set up a public key to connect to SSH using public key authentication to improve my Git workflow....
The remote server is Ubuntu 10.0.4.
I generate the keys with the command:

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "root@mydomain.com <mailto:root@mydomain.com>"


press return three times, then am pasting the contents of id_rsa.pub into a newly created authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh/ on my local machine running OSX...
This isn't working.

Anyone familiar with the configuration on OSX / Ubuntu can tell me what's wrong or point me in the right direction

Thanks in advance

Paul
