[h3nd]

Hi guys,

my script has to run accross the server to modify the file...

So I have to ssh across and input the password, for some reason the ssh-keygen didnt work. I'm not sure why ...

So, is there any way to put the password in my script when I ssh accross ?

Thx guys

If the config is the default for the server, ssh keys should work.
One problem could be directory permissions.
I often had users changing permissions within their home directories which causes ssh key exchange to stop working.
Basically the home directory itself should be 750
~/.ssh should be 700

I noticed that some of the directories you listed above are group writable (-rw-rw-r--)
Make user group has no write access and world had no access (if possible in your environment)

NB. These apply to the server you are connecting to...

Hi

I found the problem.

I have to change the home directory permission to 700 or without any write permission as well for .ssh directory.

But I can't do that because I need the group write permission in the home directory to archive the data using different logon.

Thanks guys
