I guess something was already set up. But my question is, I am logged

test@localhost" without specifying a password. The only files in my
~/.ssh/ directory are

authorized_keys
id_rsa
known_hosts

Can you point me closer to the solution? Google doe not have a lot of
useful information when I type in "add to authorized_keys". Thanks ,-

You might consider configuring the server to require public/private keys
to connect rather than using password authentication, which is much more
secure. To do this:

1. On the host from which you will connect (the client):

# ssh-keygen -t dsa

Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/you/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /Users/you/.ssh/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/you/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
4a:26:a3:df:17:fd:72:3c:c3:37:84:3a:2f:e2:2e:32
you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. On the host to which you want to connect (the server):

a. Copy id_dsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
b. Do a chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

c. Change these /etc/sshd_config properties:

Protocol 2
PermitRootLogin no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitEmptyPasswords no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

d. Restart the sshd service:

killall -HUP xinetd

-or-

cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl unload ssh.plist; sudo launchctl load ssh.plist

Next time you connect from the client machine, you will have the
opportunity of storing the pass phrase in the keychain. After you store
it in the keychain, you will no longer be prompted on connect.

E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM

messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.
