Linux and Tru64 - How to setup an SSH trust

Mar 07, 2017

Description

This article details the operations needed to create an SSH trust between a Linux and a Tru64 server for the execution of remote commands from Linux to Tru64

Usage example: To perform a clean Tru64 system shutdown initiated by the charon server

Step-by-step guide


Notes

  • The prompts will tell you where to execute the commands, "Tru64#" (root user) or "Linux#"  (root user)
  • Remember Linux/Unix is case sensitive
  • If hosts are not known by each other, fill the /etc/hosts file for example (using vi for example)
  • linuxhost represents the name of your CHARON server (can be any name you want)
  • tru64host represents the hostname of your Tru64 virtual machine


  • Generate the key

Linux# cd /root/.ssh
Linux# ssh-keygen -t rsa

→ Do not specify a passphrase
Linux# ssh-keygen -e -f id_rsa.pub > linuxhost.pub


  • Copy the linuxhost.pub file, or use copy/paste, in the /.ssh2 folder on the Tru64 host

  • Define the authorization file:

Tru64# cd /.ssh2
Tru64# echo "Key linuxhost.pub" >> authorization


  • Initialize the first ssh connection (answer 'yes' to confirm)

    Linux# ssh tru64host date

    then retry the same command to verify the trust is working.


    (lightbulb) If an error occurs, you can check and clean the /root/.ssh/known_host file on the Linux host
