tip

It is possible to use a non-root SSH account, if that account can run sudo without entering a password.

  1. Become a super user.
sudo su -
  1. Make sure the SSH server and client are installed.
yum install -y openssh-server openssh-clients
  1. Create the asymmetric key pairs.
ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa
  1. Copy the SSH public key to the remote server.
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@node01.clemlab.local
  1. Test passwordless access via SSH.
ssh root@node01.clemlab.local
