Look at ~/.ssh. If you see a file named id_dsa.pub then you obviously already have
a public key. If not, simply create one. ssh-keygen -t dsa should do the trick.
Please note that there are other types of keys, e.g. RSA instead of DSA. I simply
recomend DSA, but keep that in mind if you run into errors.
2. Make sure your .ssh dir is 700:
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
3. Get your public ssh key on the server you want to login automatically.
A simple scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub remoteuser@remoteserver.com: is ok.
4. Append the contents of your public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and remove
it.
Important: This must be done on the server you just copied your public key to.
Otherwise you wouldn�t have had to copy it on your server.
