just a quick note on secure shell client

Client: WinXP using Secure Shell ssh client.
Server: Solaris 10 running Openssh protocol 2.

This is for myself so that i remember how to do it next time..

1. my laptop has got secure shell ssh client installed.




2. On my solaris 10.

root@pw450 # pgrep -lf ssh
18746 /usr/lib/ssh/sshd
632 /usr/lib/ssh/sshd
18749 /usr/lib/ssh/sshd
root@pw450 # svcs ssh
STATE STIME FMRI
online 10:33:00 svc:/network/ssh:default


3. Generate a private key on my ssh client and uploaded to server pw450.




4. Check on Solaris server pw450. The public key has been uploaded to /.ssh2.

root@pw450 # cd /.ssh2

root@pw450 # pwd

/.ssh2

root@pw450 # ls

authorization wh7889.pub

root@pw450 #

5. Run the following command to convert the key from IETF SECSH to OpenSSH key file.

#ssh-keygen -i -f /.ssh2/wh7889.pub > /.ssh/wh7889ossh.pub

6. The public key format has changed to Openssh format.

root@pw450 # pwd

/.ssh

root@pw450 # ls

authorized_keys known_hosts wh7889ossh.pub

root@pw450 # ls -l wh7889ossh.pub

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1613 Jun 16 12:06 wh7889ossh.pub

root@pw450 #

7. Create authorized_keys.

root@pw450 # cat wh7889ossh.pub > authorized_keys

root@pw450 # more authorized_keys
