SSH key authentication

[CurlyMo]

In a normal setup it's pretty easy.

XBian 1

Code:

~# ssh-keygen -f /root/.ssh/id_xbian -N ""
~# cat /root/.ssh/id_xbian.pub
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCyv3fYKrokrVm8PTqtwLuJjUarvJlCbnbR8HAwUlaVLo3vz+I6​WnB+vXemJ6gcCL8Re0Y1RDN1ThikPJ+rBG7lc8cca5bMbcQ98J6EVPljd/aoabkMntKcTYBwfEXNQljOpxb94Kp4/9OEPo8Sg68p+m2evfZmaa6UhA/DzIKWSI3ZBbQpH+XV+sZd1c7fsdp4/OLCKrXwrWd9xlcKvx60hI6Eg8f9Z/vd3sINsrgN83Lq/PynTWVcciUSSbBOB8nYLCMR2apMLDpiqBmLxNO5mI0VEdht/sfEjZxDZi/ldTaMnVNLqs0Qk58XJlDcRzL2oHtCVX9UHsKVxNz9KFwp

XBian 2

Code:

~# echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCyv3fYKrokrVm8PTqtwLuJjUarvJlCbnbR8HAwUlaVLo3vz+I6​WnB+vXemJ6gcCL8Re0Y1RDN1ThikPJ+rBG7lc8cca5bMbcQ98J6EVPljd/aoabkMntKcTYBwfEXNQljOpxb94Kp4/9OEPo8Sg68p+m2evfZmaa6UhA/DzIKWSI3ZBbQpH+XV+sZd1c7fsdp4/OLCKrXwrWd9xlcKvx60hI6Eg8f9Z/vd3sINsrgN83Lq/PynTWVcciUSSbBOB8nYLCMR2apMLDpiqBmLxNO5mI0VEdht/sfEjZxDZi/ldTaMnVNLqs0Qk58XJlDcRzL2oHtCVX9UHsKVxNz9KFwp" > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
~# chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

XBian 1 (192.168.1.1)

Code:

~# ssh 192.168.1.1 -i /root/.ssh/id_xbian

That should be it.

Do notice that these steps are made for direct root login over ssh. If you want to use the xbian user, change the XBian 2 key path to /home/xbian/.ssh/authorized_keys. If you login with XBian 1 with ssh xbian@192.168.1.1 -i /root/.ssh/id_xbian
