Hi I am trying to set up ssh, and I am looking around for documentation.
The problem is that documentation may tell you how to install it, but I
can't find anythere information on how it actually works. The man pages
explain how the security works, but the questions below are not
answered.
This may be stupid questions, but I really can't seem to find the
information. If one doesn't know anything about ssh, it seems
impossible.
Suppose I want to connect using ssh from machine A to B. Do I have to
set up ssh on both machines? What precisely? - is there a host client
relationship. If I want to use ssh over a network, do I set up ssh on
all machines? Which ones are host and which ones clients?
Once ssh is set up, as an ordinary user, what do I do to set up the
keys. How do the keys work. Where is the so-called public key and
priovate key kept. How does that work.
This is the sort of information I have been looking for and can't find
anywhere. Please help!! It would be most appreciated!
Thanks
Hugo
