User account with no password
First Post (be easy)
I have several linux guests on an ESXi server. I am using UPS monitoring on a physical windows box and would like to be able to shutdown the linux guests from a batch file on the windows box. I found a way that should do it using putty/ssh and private keys but I haven't found a way to create a user on the linux guests without a password, hence the putty session hangs asking for a password. None of the linux guests have outside internet access from the firewall and are all on an internal vlan. Anyone have any ideas? |
But if you use private keys no password should be needed.
* Can you login on a Linux via putty without password? If not, you haven't got the configuration for using keypairs right. If you can, there's something wrong in your script. One other possibility: your user on Linux-box is not allowed to shutdown the system. Normally only root can do that. May I guess that you are trying to script a sudo-command? Something like 'ssh user@server "sudo poweroff"' ? |
To create a user without password, follow the steps. (Note here i'm using username dummy)
