Passwordless ssh setup

Administration
2

If you require batch mode (password-less) login and want ssh to fail quickly without it, use these two options from the client side (see http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config for descriptions of these):

$ ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o IdentitiesOnly=yes thehostname

Or you can add it to a an ssh/config entry for .

Host thehostname
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    BatchMode yes
