Would the following activity trigger creation of .ssh/config ?? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
* at the end of the Gentoo minimal install I rebooted |
| 8 |
* oops; can't do passwordless ssh in to root (the only account) |
| 9 |
* walked over to laptop; tweaked sshd_config to allow root login via |
| 10 |
password (I'm behind a NATting router); and restarted sshd |
| 11 |
* ssh into laptop and ran ssh-keygen |
| 12 |
* walked back to desktop and pushed .ssh/id_rsa.pub from desktop root |
| 13 |
and waltdnes accounts to .ssh/authorized_keys on laptop |
| 14 |
* confirmed that desktop could do passwordless ssh to laptop |
| 15 |
* walked over to laptop; tweaked sshd_config to forbid root login via |
| 16 |
password; and restarted sshd |
