Full Version: SSH Password Auth.

Hello,

was wondering if anyone using Cpanel/WHM has successfully setup the SSH Password Authentication pub/private keys so we can disable the password authentication for SSH shell access. I have tried serveral attempts to get this to work with no luck. I use Vandyke's SecureCRT and SecureFTP which generates the pub/private keys, imported them into the /root/.ssh folder but can't get it to work right.

we only allow myself and an associate shell access to the server, but occassional need to have a 3rd party outside source to work on the server when the need arises.

So was hoping someone has successfully set this up and may have a nice "Hot To" to accomplish the setup correctly.

TIA,
Mickalo
