keychain: Set Up Secure Passwordless SSH Access For Backup Scripts on Linux

Keychain is a utility that can be used to set up passwordless SSH access on a Linux system. This can be useful for automated tasks such as backup scripts that need to connect to remote servers without requiring manual intervention.

To set up secure passwordless SSH access using Keychain on Linux, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Install Keychain on the client system. This can be done using the package manager for your Linux distribution. For example, on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install keychain

2. Generate a public/private key pair on the client system. This can be done using the "ssh-keygen" command. For example:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

3. Copy the public key to the server system. This can be done using the "ssh-copy-id" command. For example:

ssh-copy-id user@server

Replace "user" and "server" with the appropriate values for your setup.

4. Edit the "~/.ssh/config" file on the client system and add the following lines to enable public key authentication:

Host server
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
User user

Replace "server" and "user" with your server and user.
