[NTLUG:Discuss] ssh Password-less login

Again back to the Linux class that I am teaching.

Demonstrating ssh usage and login.

Created the keys with ssh-keygen without the passphrase, then 
transferred the public key to the server from the client and appended it 
to the authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh/. 

If I do this for the root account, I am able to log in without a 
password, but if I do it for a normal user, I am still required to log 
in with a password.

Any insight please.

Dennis
