Hi!
i want to ssh between master and slave node without pass word . i made following changes

on both master and slave node /etc/hosts file have

ON Master node /etc/hosts
192.168.0.2 masternode master
192.168.0.1 slavenode slave
127.0.0.1 localdomain

.shosts file
masternode master
slavenode slave

/etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
masternode
slavenode

after this i do these steps

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/idenity
cd .ssh
scp identity.pub root@slavenode:~/.ssh/idenity.pub
on the slave node i do
cat idenity.pub >> authorized_keys
chmod go-rwx authorized_keys
rm idemtity.pub

On master node when i run
ssh slave ls
IT STILL ASK FOR PASSWORD
Pls, help me to solve this problem

I don't know if this will help, but according to this how-to (SSH login without password) it should have asked you for your password one last time.

Try ssh -vv slave. This will create trace outputs which should help to isolate the problem.

Right, if you're doing this ssh on MASTER and connecting to SLAVE then:

Generate the keys on SLAVE

copy the public key to MASTER, put it in the .ssh file for the user that's connecting.

connect from MASTER to SLAVE with 'ssh SLAVE', you may need 'ssh -1 SLAVE' depending on what type of key you're using. If you're going to automate this, then doing it manually will allow you to permanently add the host's ID in known_hosts by answering 'yes' when prompted.
