Not solely related to FreeBSD, but I know a lot of you out there use SSH and it is a regular topic of discussion: I have had some trouble trying to figure out how to get SSH set up the way I would like. I am fairly sure that the problem lies with the fact that I am using a home directory containing my .ssh directory that is NFS mounted across several machines. I am not having a lot of success trying to decipher the ssh manpages. They throw around 'log in' and do not always make it clear when logging in means getting a secure connection without entering any passcodes, entering the ssh passphrase, or entering the user's password on the remote machine. What I would like to do is be able remotely log in to a set of different machines using ssh without needing any passwords or passphrases. This set of machines however, all have the same home directory for the user I will log in as. How can I set something like this up? I suspect someone might have managed to do this already. Any advice? Anyone else just have the exact recipe to setup two machines to ssh back and forth with no passcodes at all (I have this working one way between two machine, but I have not been able to reproduce the result)? What 'gotchas' are there in the process that I should watch for (and could be what are causing my problems)? Thanks for any help. -- Crist J.
