I just downloaded and installed hadoop ver 0.200.1 and cygwin 1.5.25-15 and installed them (Windows XP.) I'm having trouble with ssh. When I enter "ssh localhost" I'm prompted for a password. I can enter it and I can log in successfully. So I ran these two commands:
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa $ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys But I'm still prompted for a password. Did I miss something when configuring ssh? The files created in .ssh look ok. Btw, I am able to run one of the example hadoop applications in Standalone mode and it works. I'm following the instructions in: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/quickstart.html#Local Thanks. -Dennis
