And the cheap way I do this is either "ssh-keygen -t dsa" or "ssh-keygen -t rsa" which creates the directory structure every time, and consistenly too.
Now I really believe I have something configured wrong....
On my Astaro firewall, I had to create everything manually. As it does not have a Unix adduser or secure file upload.
Astaro??? Keithy confused now. Was is loss, Astaro?. (Don't answer that, I know what it is but have never used it). My reply was based on connecting to a centos based server.
So I followed my working 'instructions'.
I used:
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -X -f ~/.ssh/identity.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
and that worked fine on astaro, but not here. So I changed ..._keys2 to ..._keys and no help.
Oh, identity.pub was created with:
cat > ~/.ssh/identity.pub
<copy clipboard that has public key in it> CNTL+D
Possibility of the clipboard corrupting the copied text? Adding newlines where they didn't exist before? Personally I copy .pub with scp to the destination host
Of course I don't know what the -X option does. My debian friend gave me that command structure...
man ssh-keygen does even list -X as an option. Maybe it's particular to that Debian distribution?
