Re: ssh/sshd

["Patrick J. Fay" <pfay at acl dot lanl dot gov>]

Hello Derek,
Do on the pc:
mkdir /derek/.ssh
ssh-keygen
tell it to put the file in /derek/.ssh/identity
give it a passphrase.
ftp (or somehow get) your new identity* files to the other 
host in your otherhost:~derek/.ssh/identity* 
copy the ~/.ssh/identity.pub file to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Note that each system that you want to ssh to will need a copy
of your identity.pub in it's authorized_keys. 
That is how it 'knows' who to let in.
Try that and let me know what happens. You should get further anyway.
Pat

On your pc (or on a host with ssh-keygen) you need to run ssh-keygen
