[2024-feb-29] Sad news: Eric Layton aka Nocturnal Slacker aka vtel57 passed away on Feb 26th, shortly after hospitalization. He was one of our Wiki's most prominent admins. He will be missed.

Welcome to the Slackware Documentation Project

This is an old revision of the document!


Two remarks:

  1. I think that “noryungi@mypc$ scp TEST.rsa.pub nr@test.example.com:/home/nr/.ssh/authorized_keys” is a potentially destructive command. What if the user already has a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file? You need to elaborate.
  2. Remove the “template” tag from the page. What did the comments at the bottom of the page source tell you?

Eric: you are absolutely right - I'll correct both your points ASAP.

Corrected!

Can we add ssh-copy-id as a command to copy the public key? It seems easier to use than scp for me, and probably less potentially destructive.

Ellendhel: very good idea. I'll add ssh-copy-id soon.

Noryungi, I just used your excellent tutorial here to set up my pub/private keys on my three Slackware systems on my home network! Works very well. Thanks! :) — V. T. Eric Layton 2013/03/16 21:11
