Public RSA Keys
There may come a time when you wish to provide an EidolonHost staff member with SSH access to your server without providing your root password. To save yourself from having to tinker with passwords, below is a list of our public RSA keys. Check back from time to time, as the keys do change.
You can place the entry of choice in /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys
.
Or, if you're providing root access, /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
after you verify that this is the correct file. We've provided MD5 and SHA1 sums of our file to ensure you're getting the correct file from this server.

Installing SSH Keys
As mentioned at the top of this page, you can place the keys you've downloaded from this server into your .ssh/authorized_keys
file.
Download our publickey.txt file:
wget https://eidolonhost.com/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=wiki:publickey.txt
and after this file's downloaded…
Verify the file:
md5sum fetch.php\?media\=wiki\:publickey.txt
or
sha1sum fetch.php\?media\=wiki\:publickey.txt
Install the file:
mv fetch.php\?media\=wiki\:publickey.txt authorized_keys
in /home/username/.ssh/
if you don't have an existing authorized_keys
file in your .ssh
folder.
Otherwise, if you do have an existing authorized_keys
file in /home/username/.ssh/
, it is best to download the file and then:
cat fetch.php\?media\=wiki\:publickey.txt
to get the public key to copy to your authorized_keys
file without unintentionally eliminating your installed SSH keys.
