For example: - root@srchost# ssh-keygen -t dsa - root@srchost# ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_dsa.pub backup@desthost + root@srchost# ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 + root@srchost# ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub backup@desthost Now, you should be able to ssh from user 'root' on srchost to user 'backup' on desthost without specifying a password. -- cgit v1.2.3
