I'm trying to use scp and I get prompted for a password or passphrase for each invocation. I figure I need to figure out how to get ssh to connect without prompting, but I just can't get it. I've read all the man pages and my head is swirling. I went to the OpenSSH web site and got no further. I've been in the business for 28 years and can usually figure things out from man pages, but ssh doesn't seem to be clear enough. I've been unemployed for over a year and can't afford the OReilly book right now (which I'm offering as my defense for asking here). I've got two free chapters from the OReilly book, but they don't help. I've used ssh-keygen and I'm trying to login to the localhost (using it's hostname). Anybody know of a short tutorial that just works? -- i386 FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE There are 10 types of people in this world. Ones that understand binary and then, the others.
