Re: How can I login with ssh in bash shell ?

[Stephen Samuel <samuel@bcgreen.com>]

the public key should go into authorized_keys2

alsoe: I'd suggest using:
	ssh-keygen -f nopw.key -t rsa

you will end up with the private key in nopw.key
and the public key in nopw.key.pub

You can then do: ssh -i nopw.key remote_host

The main difference here is that you don't end up with your
passwordless key being your default (probably a bad idea).

BTW: you can setup ssh so that the recipient machine, when
it accepts the passwordless key can only execute one specific
command. (makes it harder for a hacker to cause you damage
if they get hold of the key).
