keychain: Set Up Secure Passwordless SSH Access For Backup Scripts on Linux
in Categories CentOS, Debian / Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Linux, OpenBSD, RedHat and Friends, Security, Suse, UNIX last updated December 4, 2017We establish connections to remote systems without supplying a password. However, I do not want to store my password-less keys ( passphrase-free keys) on my servers. The ssh-agent, takes care of keys with a passphrase, which allowing me to have a ssh-agent process per system per login session easily. How do I dramatically reduces the number of times I have to punch my passphrase from once per new login session to once every time my local server is rebooted? How do I use keychain utility for all my backup scripts for secure passwordless login?
