11  ------------------------------------------  
12  - local machine:  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13    - check if you can login to the remote machine via "normal" password authentication  1. local machine (e.g.: your laptop) (want to login to remote one)
14    - create rsa-keys with "ssh-keygen"  
15        - authorize yourself    THIS METHOD IS a) CLUMSY AND b) DANGEROUS!!!
16          - cd ~/.ssh/    PLEASE USE METHOD 2. TO DO THIS!
17          - cat identity.pub >> authorized_keys  
18        - take care of proper file-permissions    - check if you can login to the remote machine
19          - chmod -R og-rwx ~/.ssh      via "normal" password authentication:
20        - ssh <username>@<remote_machine>
21    
22      - create keys:
23        - rsa-keys: ssh-keygen
24        - dsa-keys: ssh-keygen -d
25    
26      - create authorized_keys:
27        - cd ~/.ssh/
28        - rsa-keys: cat identity.pub >> authorized_keys
29        - dsa-keys: cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys
30    
31      - take care of proper file-permissions
32        - chmod -R og-rwx ~/.ssh
33    
34    - authorize remote machines / distribute "authorized_keys"    - authorize remote machines / distribute "authorized_keys"
35      - scp authorized_keys <username>@<remote_machine>:~/.ssh/      - scp authorized_keys <username>@<remote_machine>:~/.ssh/
36          this is dangerous!!! it will overwrite the "authorized_keys" file completely
37    
38    - test login to remote machine    - test login to remote machine
39      - ssh <remote_machine>      - ssh <remote_machine>
40  ------------------------------------------  
41    2. remote machine (e.g.: a backup server) (want to login to this one)
42    
43      which is machine is what?
44        <worker>  the machine you are working on
45        <remote>  the machine you want to log in
46      
47      which account is what?
48        <service> is the account on <worker> (this one might execute some cronjobs)
49        <joko_backup> is the account on <remote>
50    
51      [key generation] one-time preparations needed for <worker>:
52        x useradd service
53        x su service
54        x ssh-keygen -d
55      
56      [key distribution] to be executed on <remote>:
57        x useradd joko_backup
58        x su joko_backup
59        x ssh service@<worker> "cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
60          the (") with the first (remote) command are important!
61          otherwise your *local* shell would expand the tilde (~)
62          
63      [key distribution] to be executed on <worker>:
64        This is an alternative to above if the account on <remote> already exists,
65        and it is somehow required not to execute commands
66        actively/manually at the <remote> side. Picture this: "the worker works".
67        #> cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh joko@netfrag.org "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
68        
69        If the account at remote side doesn't exists,
70        this shortcut might create it from the <worker> side as well:
71          x ssh root@<remote> "useradd joko_backup"
72      
73      [login] test it on <worker>:
74        x su service
75        x ssh joko_backup@<remote-machine>
