Slackware15 and RSA key pair generation.
by jefsa from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JE86)
Hello,
I have two terminals loaded with Slackware15. I have been trying to generate a key pair between them.
I have been unable to generate the required password. Steps:
ssh-keygen
/root/.ssh/id_rsa already exits.
Overwrite (y/n) n
ssh-copy-id root@(IP address of the other terminal)
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: source of key(s) to be installed: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
/usr/bin/aah-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id; INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
(root@(IP address of the other terminal) Password:
Several steps to enter the Password will not come back as installed.
Thanks for any help.

jefsa
