Keyswap

This will allow you to use keys to log into a device.

Generate your keys

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

• this will generate 2 files, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. These are your public and private files. Make sure the permissions to this file are correct:

-rw-------  1 hugme  hugme  1675 Jun 23 09:52 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--  1 hugme  hugme   398 Jun 23 09:52 id_rsa.pub

• Now link the keys to the correct name

$ ln -s id_rsa identity

$ ln -s id_rsa.pub identity.pub

Swap keys

add your public key to the server you are logging into

• Create the folder on the machine you are connecting to

$ ssh [destination] "mkdir .ssh"

• give it your public key

$ cat identity.pub | ssh [destinationp] "cat - > .ssh/authorized_keys"
