Hi Security-experts, i was looking for information on how i can do password-less ssh to the remote machines in my office ...
the info i found was for redhat xsession related config files ... then, i "accidentally" saw that ssh-agent is already started by default: > [lotus]# ps -ef|grep ssh-agent root 692 691 0 19:17:53 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/dt/bin/Xses root 17711 1044 0 20:30:11 pts/5 0:00 grep ssh-agent > [lotus]# and the ssh-agent connection info is already available in my terminal windows ... > [lotus]# env | grep SSH > SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXtYaywb/agent.691 > SSH_AGENT_PID=692 > [lotus]# is there more information on who starts the agent? are there canned instructions on how we can "auto" get the passwords ssh-add'ed during login ? (x11-ssh-askpass etc ?) or do we manually ssh-add the keys in a window we open, after logging in ? During boot, there are messages about the generation of RSA/DSA keys ... what are these ? where are they stored ? In general, is there information about ssh and how it implemented/used on opensolaris ? Thanks Very Much! And automatically starting the ssh-agent is a great idea !! cheers, sam This message posted from opensolaris.org
