- set up passwordless log-in to the Cortex computers:
#generate the public and private keys on this computer. enter empty strings when prompted for various answers. ssh-keygen #the cortex computers (ip addresses 10.10.1.1 to 10.10.1.5) share the same disk, so you need to do the set up only once
#copy the public key you just generated to cortex1, on the user account you want to use there (e.g. demo). scp /home/vislab/.ssh/id_rsa.pub demo@10.10.1.1: #log in to cortex1 ssh demo@10.10.1.1 #add the public key to the authorized ones cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys #remove the id_rsa.pub file and log out from cortex1. rm id_rsa.pub exit exit #log in again to each cortex computer, to check that the process worked and they don't prompt for a password
