Re: [PLUG] ssh question

["eric@lucii.org" <eric@lucii.org>]

Hummm, that's not what _I'm_ trying to do.

I want to start ssh and NOT get a password prompt if 
I'm connecting as the same user on the other computer.

What options work then?  

I've done "man [ssh|sshd|ssh-agent]" and I'm just not
understanding how it works.  Any options I change make no
difference or stop me from connecting altogether.

Where do I go to understand more about how to configure
ssh|sshd to get what I want?  "sshd for Dummies"?
