Ah, I'm not sure if I got it, I tried:
ssh-keygen -N '' -C backup1 -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
and copied the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub porrtion into the server's
~/.ssh/known_hosts but for some reason it wouldn't let me in... :( Any
ideas what i could have done wrong? Or is my keygen command "corrupt"?
Thank you!
