I have two Fedora 20 boxes that I am trying to set up a passwordless login
from each to the other. I am able to set up the login from one, bert, to the
other, ernie, but not the other way around.
To create it, I do the following:
On bert,
remote_user=jack at ernie
ssh-keygen -t dsa
ssh ${remote_user} mkdir -p .ssh
ssh ${remote_user} chmod 700 .ssh
cat .ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh ${remote_user} 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
ssh ${remote_user} chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
Then when I execute
ssh ${remote_user}
I can go from bert to ernie without a password. Reversing the process however
doesn't work, I still need a password to go from ernie to bert. What is most
confusing is that I haven't found any configuration option that is different
between the two.
