automate ssh login

[David Hill]

man ssh - will give you all the info you need ...

ssh-keygen - to make RSA. don't enter password

copy key to server and put in ~/.ssh/

edit authorized_keys

to run command on server run:

ssh root-br3q3gDaRRhcicmfGPyQcCwD8/FfD2ys at public.gmane.org halt

That should shutdown your computer at this.is.a.domain.ca

RSA/DSA keys are easy don't run away from them. It takes a total of 4
commands tops to setup RSA/DSA auth.
