Installing keys Keys are typically stored in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on server account. Simply concatenate public keys, one per line. These keys will be granted access sans password. Special conditions can be placed on a key-by-key basis by placing keywords before key data. SSHv1 and SSHv2 keys used to be separated into authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 files respectively. xahrbox$ cd ~/.ssh xahrbox$ ln authorized_keys authorized_keys2
