[admin] Okay to use authorized_keys?
So I was skimming the link from the FAQ about using ssh-agent to enable passwordless connections to common-lisp.net and it occured to me that I could just scp the authorized_keys file that has my public ssh keys in it to common-lisp.net and be good to go. Is there any reason not to do that? (The private keys is on my personal machines which are behind a NAT firewall.) -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter@javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

Nope, I do it myself. Erik.

AFAIK that's exactly the right way to do it. (Provided the keys are protected by passphrases!) On similar topic, should there be a cautionary note against chained ssh connections to MOTD? Cheers, -- Nikodemus
