SSH RSA/DSA authentication via the GUI
Authored by: fletcherpenney on Dec 16, '03 11:46:53AM

Agreed - I have been using RSA/DSA authentication since 10.1 without any difficulties. You set it up just as you set up ssh on any other OS I have used....

One way of making it easier on OS X, however, is to use SSHAskPass. This program asks for your keychain password when you log in, and then it automatically enters your password for any ssh connection that uses an encrypted RSA/DSA key. ( Much better than using empty passwords in my opinion.)

SSH RSA/DSA authentication via the GUI
Authored by: GaelicWizard on Dec 16, '03 02:10:20PM

Is SSHAskPass an Aqua app, or for X11? I've got one for X11, but I'm dying for one for Aqua (and I do NOT want something like SSHKeychain, which is a hack in my opinion). Any suggestions?
