How to do avoid typing your password on every machine
You can avoid giving your password on every machine every time
you run a P-language job by taking the following steps.
The system spawns processes automagically on other machines using
the Unix command "ssh".
You need to configure "ssh" in the following way.
- First of all, you need to set up a "key" with a blank passwd;
at the Unix prompt, type
- When you do this, it will prompt you for the name of a file
to put the "key" in, the default being .ssh/id_rsa.pub .
Let's assume you pick this name. Then you need to add this key
as an authorized entity to access your account. You do this at
the Unix prompt by typing
- cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
- Note that the file id_rsa.pub should be not readable so that nobody else
can steal it.
