I'm trying to SSH from one Mac running OS X 10.6 to another. Seems to work fine via a password, but I can't get it to use a RSA key instead. Where is the ssh configuration file on OS X and what is the command to reload SSH?
Update
What I'm asking is how to configured advanced options. For example, on Ubuntu there is a ssh config file at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and if you do something like change the port or disable password authentication for a particular user (PasswordAuthentication no
) you need to run /etc/init.d/ssh reload
to reload the config. I didn't see that file on OS X, so was just wondering where it was. I am aware of the ~/.ssh
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
and `~/.ssh/config
