Unattended SSH

+
Unattended remote login - Freeside can login to remote machines unattended using SSH. This can pose a security risk if not configured correctly, and will allow an intruder who breaks into your freeside machine full access to your remote machines. Do not use this feature unless you understand what you are doing! +

As the freeside user (on your freeside machine), generate an authentication key using ssh-keygen. Since this is for unattended operation, use a blank passphrase. +
Append the newly-created identity.pub file to ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine(s). +
Some new SSH v2 implementation accept v2 style keys only. Use the -t option to ssh-keygen, and append the created id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub to ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the remote machine(s). +
You may need to set PermitRootLogin without-password (meaning with keys only) in your sshd_config file on the remote machine(s). +
