SSH: AuthorizedKeysFile
 

Hi,
I need to login a linux machine using python.

We have codebase to use ssh to login into a device say Device1.

I did the following to the device to make ssh successful.

scp id_dsa.pub engineering@<Device1>:/inbound
telnet <Device1> #use the OS account credentials to log in
Device1 #> sudo bash -l
root #> cat /inbound/id_dsa.pub >> /app/authorized_keys2
root #> /etc/init.d/sshd stop root
#> /etc/init.d/sshd start root
#> exit Device1 #> exit

My question, is there any specific location where I should keep authorized_keys2 in linux machine.
Or do I need to add any line in ssh config to look for authorized_keys

Hi,
