[Beowulf] ssh connection passwordless

[Francesco Pietra]

I got everything working fine - like in the past - along a more
pedestrian cross copying the authorized keys. Then, slogin put the
other machines on known_hosts. Next slogin occurs without password.
Also (which is mandatory to run parallel a special computational code)
issuing on the server itself

slogin servername

places itself on known_hosts. Then, issuing

ssh servername date

gives the date without requesting the password. That is, this is an
ssh to the same machine from which it is commanded and it works
because the machine knows itself.

I am no system expert, just need to have the machine running the
codes; I have not much investigated why I was unable to send the keys.
Maybe that above is inelegant. I know that other users solved the
issue of getting the date that way with keychain. For me it was easier
as above.

The permissions on the desktop required changes to get the security
status you suggested.

regards
francesco
