Thank you. > > -T For a new system usually PasswordAuthentication is on by default. You can push your key from the remote system with ssh machine.foo.com <~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 'mkdir .ssh; cat >>.ssh/authorized_keys;chmod 700 .ssh;chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys' It will ask for yor password. Then do ssh machine.foo.com Should not ask for the password. Disable passwordAuthentication in sshd_config -- TIA Stuart -- There are three kinds of mathematician Those that can count and those that cant.
