How do you set up auto-login with ssh keys? Every time I set up a new server I have to look this up. So here I will write it down.
Step 1 — Generate the DSA key pair
ssh-keygen -t dsa
Step 2 — Copy key to remote server
cd
scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub user@server:/
Step 3 — Logon to remove server and append key to authorized_keys
ssh server
cat id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
That’s It
