Hi guys, I use mercurial in my project, and every time I push new changesets to the server by ssh, it ask me for a password.
Then how to config the mercurial to push with out asking password?
I works on Ubuntu 9.10

A:
On Linux and Mac, use ssh-agent.
- Ensure you have an ssh keypair (see
man ssh-keygenfor details) - Copy your public key (from
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) to the remote machine, giving it a unique name (such asmyhost_key.pub) - Log in to the remote machine normally and append the public key you just copied to the
~/.ssh/authorized_keysfile - Run
ssh-addon your local workstation to add your key to the keychain
You can now use any remote hg commands in this session without requiring authentication.

What should I do on the new 'myhost_key.pub' on the server side? I just copy it to ~/.ssh/ dir, and touched a new file called 'authorized_keys'. and then added one line in it:'myhost_key.pub'. But it dosen't work;

You need to append the contents of the public key to the `authorized_keys` file, not just put a reference to it. The reason the instructions don't say to copy it to that name directly is to not overwrite its existing contents. So step 2 gets the key onto the remote host, and step 3 is to put its contents into the correct file. After that, you can delete the copied `myhost_key.pub`. I hope that clarifies things.
