8.3.1 Using dcli to Set up SSH User-equivalence for a Current User

This example shows how to set SSH user-equivalence for a current user using the -k option.

Example 8-1 Setting up SSH User-equivalence for a Current User

$ ./dcli -k -g mycells

The -k option assumes the user has accepted the default key file names for the SSH protocol, version 2. These file names are id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub, and are located in the ~/.ssh directory.

You may be prompted to acknowledge cell authenticity, and may be prompted for the remote user password. The -k key exchange is done serially over the cells to prevent the user from getting password prompts from all cells simultaneously. After the -k option is used once, subsequent commands to the same cells do not require the -k option and do not require passwords for that user from the host.
