[LUG]Re: ssh remote logins

 

Hi Mark
Thanks for this, good idea on generating new keys for each device, I had a feeling that was the best thing to do. It is easy enough to generate and copy to the pi. 

Private key is - filename
Public key is - filename.pub

Regards

Paul

Technically you can use the same key but it might be better to generate new keys on each machine so you can revoke access on a machine my machine basis. Get it clear in your mind which is the private key and which is the public key and only share the public.

    Hi All

    I have set up a Raspberry Pi on my local LAN and can log in to this
    via ssh, I have also set up an ssh key so I can log in remotely
    across the LAN without a password.

    If I want to log in from other computers (e.g laptop) on the same
    LAN do I need to set up a different key on each computer or can I
    copy the key from my desktop to the other computers.

    I will still need to run ssh-copy-id for each other computer.

    Thanks

    Paul
