[ Max ]Is there a way I can have /.ssh/authorized_keys populated with a public key upon every reboot? I’m reading through the init scripts of the faxfinder, and the closest thing I can think of short of writing a new ramdisk image is to replace /usr/local/sbin/cupsd with a script that does this in addition to starting CUPS. Is there a better way?
Jesse GillesThere is a utility for linux systems called “sshpass” that allows you to initiate ssh sessions and use a password for authentication from a script. You can either run all of your commands in this manner, or use sshpass to upload the authorized_keys file before you do other ssh commands using RSA authentication.
Also, as you are probably aware, ssh access to the FaxFinder is intended for administration/debug purposes only and any modification to the FaxFinder will not be supported by Multi-Tech.
