Jesus Christ! You're putting your private key out on the net for anyone to download? You're either insane or just plain stupid. Why don't you just post your ip address and root password(s) to a web page? It's the same end result. All it takes is a passwordless key in your authorized_keys file and you're owned. You surely don't consider a Yahoo email account to be secure I hope. Any wannabe script kiddie will crack that account in less than a minute, grabbing your private key, checking the header for the originating ip address, and 10 seconds later sitting at a command prompt as root. Don't expect a flood of offers as a SysAdmin anytime soon.whenever I change the key, I emailed my yahoo account the new private key. putty can be downloaded from anywhere. Another approach is to the web server.I don't carry any USB storage device. I prefer to get everything from the net, including my private key. :)
