Testing this with an ssh $(hostname) id so I don't think I need to
mkdir. Did this command anyway...
$ ssh remotehost.com tee -a .ssh/authorizedkeys < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
2>>/dev/null
OK...
$ chmod go-rwX ~/. ~/.ssh
OK...
$ ssh remotehost.com chmod go-rwX . .ssh
OK...
Now for the test:
ssh $(hostname) id
adefaria@adefaria's password:
Darn! Still need to enter my password!
Any other ideas?

Hi,
I am writing a shell script that needs to execute commands on a remote
system using "rexec". I want to do this without typing in a password
every
time the "rexec" command executes. The way I see it the "rexec"
command
in
CYGWIN does not allow a password to be passed. I have tried to use a
".netrc" file (to supply the password) with the format:
machine remote_machine_name login remote_username password string
I have not been able to get this to work. I cannot find a man page or
other
CYGWIN documentation for "rexec" or ".netrc".
Is it possible to do this with CYGWIN?
David Hale
Umm, why not use "ssh"?
Igor
When I use ssh I get prompted for a password.
