Problem with automatic ssh

Apps & Remote Access
1

Hi,

I need to access vera box remotely from my office. My vera 3 box is placed in my home and its behind a NAT box. I tried to create a reverse ssh tunnel to a server from the vera box, that works but this solution is quite unreliable as if either the box or the server restarts the tunnel is vanished. If I could create the ssh tunnel passwordlessly that could solve my problem. Can anyone tell me how can I create the ssh tunnel without having to type the password for the server everytime (as ssh-copy-id command does not work for mios)?

Thanks

Getting ssh-copy-id to work … The following worked for me - take care, this is involves changing a system related file.

In brief after doing the usual ssh-copy-id, then login to your vera, and issue
mv /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /etc/dropbear/

The extra step adresses the difference in where dropbear (on vera) and openssl (on other system) stores files.
