ssh without prompting password

siva balan · 09-28-2010, 01:09 AM

actually i have generated public and private key using "ssh-keygen" command.i have appended it to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file in the other netowork system.

still it's prompting for password.

all the systems in my network are using fedora12 and fedora13.i dont know what's wrong with it.
does it need to change any configuration files ..if so what are all the changes to be made?

i am trying to login using the same user for whom i created the pub key..no impersonation
thanks in advance

Hello,

Are you connecting as the same user that has the SSH key added to the authorized_keys file or as a different one?

Have you created the SSH key without password (pressing enter when asked for password twice)?

Kind regards,

Eric
