Sorry that I didn't make myself clear. I've got two situations: a) my present sitution in which I communicate between hosts on my local LAN, b) a future situation (to which I'd like to arrive in a day or so) of taking a laptop into the field and using ssh to access a home-base host on the LAN.
In the former case, to ssh one I only need a user account and the user's password; the the latter case, I have to access the LAN from an internet server, and this requires both a user account, its password, and its domain, so that the server knows where to find the LAN on which the server host is located. I belabor this a bit lest I'm misunderstanding or missing something fundamental. For example, my routing table on both machines has the router as their gateway. Presently my /etc/revolv.conf files simply point to my router-modem-hub as nameserver. This router-hub-modem has SSH service enabled.
