| Post subject: | How To Set Up Passwordless SSH On A Second Computer |
Hello, I successfully set up passwordless login from one of my machines. I have been using it for quite some time. Now I would like to set up passwordless login from a second machine. So I set PubkeyAuthentication to "no" in sshd_config in Ubuntu so I could successfully copy over the pub key to my new machine. That doesn't seem to be working at all. I can't even login from the second machine. Anyone have any advice? I've tried googling this to death already. Thank you in advance. |

Setting "PubkeyAuthentication" off doesn't enable any other kind of authentication. You're likely going to need to log in from Lish now and re-enable that, since it sounds like you've turned off all authentication methods: https://library.linode.com/using-lish-the-linode-shell Once you've enabled PubkeyAuthentication again, you want to put the public key from the other system in the same authorized_keys file you put the first public key in. You can get the public key there however you'd like: it isn't secret, you can throw it in a pastebin or copy it via the first system, etc. - Les |

Thank you for your help on this and for helping me understand a little bit more about the public/private key thing. For anyone else with a mac who has similar issue.. i figured out I could copy my keys to my second mac machine using Airdrop. Worked like a charm.
