Re: Configuring SSH on IBM i

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My SSH documentation does not have a space between the ""

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa -N ''

My keys get generated in my home folder.

I have to create the .ssh folder off of my home folder and then move the 
public and private keys to the .ssh folder.
