passwordless SSH Rsync [Was : Disk Layout/Partitioning Practices]

[Ron Herardian]

Not sure if this helps but if you want to ssh with out a password (or set this up for rsync) all you have to do is make sure that ~/.ssh/dsa.pub (from the user on the originating host) gets copied to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 for the same user on the destination host. Of course you can make this bi-directional whether or not the users ssh keys (identity/identity.pub, id_ras/id_rsa.pub, id_dsa/id_dsa.pub, authorized_keys/authorized_keys2) are the same on both hosts--just keep track of which files go with which originatin/destination hosts.
