How can i automate login into another virtual machine, which i created now.
I want to login without asking passsword!
and i am using openvz for virtualisation!!

login how? ftp, telnet, ssh, sftp, http, xdmcp, vnc....? if you wnt help you need to provide a suitable level of information. From cold I could guess at ssh, and therefore say you shouldn't automate it, but use preshared keys to get in securely without passwords.

Not sure what openvz is. If you want something to start when your computer starts, then make an rc script. Not a very secure solution though.

This doesn't appear to have any relation to the question being asked.

i want to use ssh.
The thing is i will create a virtual machine on my near by machine.
Now i want to login.
before copy my public key , i have to use password to copy from my system to that vm.
How can i supply password in my script?

Let me put in this way..
is there any command in linux, so that i may use it to login my remote system by supplying both user name and password in a single line

Have you tried to copy you public key to your the other computer using

the script you are looking for copying your public key to your server is:

Code:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/your_public_key user@your_machine_id

but you have to enter your password once manually

. Then all you have to do is disable passwordauthenticaton=no in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf file and enable publickeyauthenticaion=yes

or

man ssh-copy-id

Hope you were asking the same with i have mentioned.

cheers!!

As above, you should look to use public key authentication. If you don't know what this is, then have a read online via google.
