Hi,

I'm using Mac 10.6.3 and logged in to my machine as "davea". I'm
trying to set up password-less login to a remote machine, "remote1".
So I ran this command ...

ssh remotelogin(a)remote1 'echo '`cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub`' >> ~/.ssh/
authorized_keys'

after entering in the password to the remote machine, I then tried to
SSH in using

ssh remotelogin(a)remote1

However, I was prompted for a password, which I wanted to avoid.
Could someone suggest additional steps to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks, - Dave

I'm surprised that even parsed!

I usually just say:

ssh remotelogin(a)remote1 'cat >>.ssh/authorizedkeys' <.ssh/id_dsa.pub

Far easier to understand, for both me and the computer.

I found that command here -- http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2335

Regarding my question, do you have any suggestions about why it was
not working (i.e. still being prompted for a password)? - Dave

If it's available, I'd suggest using "ssh-copy-id", eg

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub youruser(a)remotebox

which basically does all the hard work for you, then try logging into the
remote box as "youruser".

Is "youruser" the login I use on my local machine or the login I use
to access the remote machine? - Dave
