I have a public/private key pair for ssh connections to a server S, but now, even if do a ssh to another device that does't need any key authentication, I always have the message:
> ssh [email protected]
Enter passphrase for key '/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa':
[email protected]'s password:
Usually I hit enter in the first question (leaving it blank) and I type the user's password in the second question.
But as I want to write some scripts to automatize some things, the "Enter passphrase for key '/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa': " message bothers me.
Why it appears for every connection request? Can I do something so it won't ask me that for every connection? Just with the server S?
Thanks
Based on this ServerFault answer:
ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no host.example.org
To avoid typing it every single time, you can add something like this to
~/.ssh/config
