Re: remote shutdown windows from linux

I don't use key authentication but I believe you need to store your public
key in a folder called ".ssh" (note the leading dot) inside your home
folder. You will also need to add your key to the "authorized_keys" file.
There is a document called "key_authentication.txt" in the docs folder that
explains it. Hope this helps.

I can now logon using password. I wanted to automate the login using
the public and private keys. So I created a pair of public and private
keys on my linux box.
I copied the .pub key on the windows box in the $HOME directory which
is C:\Document and Settings\Username.

Then I copied the .pub file in the list of authorized_keys which is
also located in the $HOME directory which is C:\Document and
Settings\Username.

Now when i login from linux box, it asks me username and password.
After giving password it logs me in. Since I wanted to automate the
procude I did the public/private keys. I want to avoid the step that it
asks me the password.

I want something like

ssh username@IP_ADDR # It will log me in
shutdown -s # shuts the computer down


Every help is appreciated.

Thanks
