    ssh public key authorization

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying out the ssh public authorization on my network.

    I have generated the ssh protocol 2 rsa public/private key pair, and upload the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the server that I want to ssh to.

    Do i need to change the name of the public key (id_rsa.pub --> my actually user name_rsa.pub) before i try out logging in from a client machine?

    Thanks for anyone looking and answering!

    Nope, the public key needs to go in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Also make sure to `chmod 0600 authorized_keys' or sshd will refuse to use it....
