[NTLUG:Discuss] ssh Password-less login

[Mittelgeek]

Need to add the key(s) to each of the users in their own .ssh directories.

Not the best idea in the world to add that/those key(s) in every users
profle, security-wise, that is. Should have each user create their own key
and add that to the server that everyone is trying to get into.

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
