Ok. Let's assume your openSSH for AmigaOS is more or less complete (I didn't try it).

Use

ssh-keygen

to generate a private/public key pair. RSA with 2048 bits will be sufficient as you are using it in your LAN only. It also makes sure that it works with protocol version 1 (not sure if the Amiga client supports version 2).

Code:

ssh-keygen -f id_yourname -t rsa

This creates

id_yourname

(private key) and

id_yourname.pub

(public key) in your current directory.
Copy the contents of the public key to .ssh/authorized_keys on your pi. Also to authorized_keys2 (or use a link). Then you should be able to log in with your private key, without having to type a password:

Code:

ssh -i id_yourname pi-address

If it works, you may copy the private key to

HOME:.ssh

and make it select the id automatically via your config file. Add to

HOME:.ssh/config

:

Code:

Host pi
        Hostname 1.2.3.4
        IdentityFile HOME:.ssh/id_yourname

After that a simple

ssh pi

should log you in.
Note: Make sure that sshd on your pi still accepts protocol version 1 connections. Under BSD you would check that in

/etc/ssh/ssh_config

- not sure about Linux.
