OT: ssh between linux and sco unix

[Fairlight]

With neither thought nor caution, Jose Lerebours blurted:

You forgot the critical part--leave the passphrase -empty- during key
generation.  That's the part Jose needs. :)

> > scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username at machine.domain.com:.ssh/authorized_keys2

Why are you using authorized_keys2?  RSA keys have always gone in
authorized_keys.  I think authorized_keys2 may be meant for DSA keys,
although I've honestly never even heard of the authorized_keys2 file before
your email, and I've been using ssh for automation for...well a very LONG
time.  :)

In fact, I just read the man page (and expressly searched for
authorized_keys, and there's no mention of a file ending in 2 at all in the
docs.

Where'd you get that info?

Make sure that the ssh key itself is generated using an empty passphrase.
