Passwordless SSH

To set up passwordless SSH, there are three main things to do:

  • generate a pair of public/private keys on your local computer
  • copy the public key from the source computer to the target computer's authorized_keys file
  • check the permissions.

You can repeat that transitively for "A->B->C". You can use the initial pair of keys everywhere.

See here for details:

Making a cascade of SSH connections easy

Here is a very convenient way to set up the access to any machine directly instead of doing a cascade of SSH calls. Put this into your .ssh/config file :

Host csserver
  User kdichev
  Hostname csserver.ucd.ie
Host heterogeneous
  User kiril
  Hostname heterogeneous.ucd.ie
  ProxyCommand ssh -qax csserver nc %h %p
Host hcl01
  Hostname hcl01.ucd.ie
  ProxyCommand ssh -qax heterogeneous nc %h %p

Now, you can do:

ssh hcl01

and you get logged to the node immediately.
