Hello,
I have 5 clients which are connected to three server; this network is
for testing and
it not (AND WILL NOT!) be connected to the internet.
Now: becuase this is for testing, some machines are dual boot; also
quite frequently we
install OS on these machines. Theses machines have flavors of linux,
and there is also solaris.
My question is: we do work a lot with ssh.
If on the client side you run : ssh-keygen -t rsa
it generates 2 files:
id_rsa id_rsa.pub
then if you copy id_rsa.pub to the server renaming it to
authorized_keys2
(no need to restart the ssh daemon on the server!), than next time you
will run ssh from a client to a server than it will connect directly,
without need for a password.


Is there a way that all these clients will have the same key?
(so that on the server, a certain, common authorized_keys2 file will be
used, hopefully
with only one line).
Or is there some other way to cause all the clients to be able to
connect without a password
to all the servers ?

As I said, there is no fear of being attacked from outside as this net
is isoalted from
the outer world.
Regard,
MR
