Hi,

I'm trying to ssh passwordless from a local to a remote machine (both debian).

On the local machine I've generated a key and copied it to the remote machine:

local#ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
local#scp id_rsa.pub remote.machine:/blabla

On the remote machine I have added the key to .ssh/authorized_keys:

remote#cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

Now if I try to ssh the remote machine I'm still asked to enter the passphrase ...

local# ssh remote.machine
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa':

Have I missed something ?

Thanks in advance,

yours,
kochi
