[SGVLUG] SSH Keys / Trusted Authentication

[Sean O'Donnell]

-- *SNIP* --
ssh cvsserver
scp mylocalhost:~/.ssh/*.pub .
mkdir -m 0700 .ssh
cd !$
cat ../*.pub >> authorized_keys
chmod 0600 !$

Technically, you should really only need id_rsa.pub *or* id_dsa.pub.  I
prefer the former.  SSHv1 should be shut off on all servers.

-- *SNIP* --

I don't have root access to the servers, and there is no longer an admin
available until they find a new one, which may not be for awhile. =/

Anyhow, I tried your suggestion Jeff, but still no luck. =/

I did notice a failure when logging in to ssh in verbose mode, that I
didn't receive (or perhaps notice) yesterday... 'debug1:
PEM_read_PrivateKey failed'

Here is the log, just in case...
