I only use ssh and associated tools with keys when remoting in from the outside. On my internal LAN, I find NFS simpler and more versatile. One box exports several directories via NFS, users/no root. The other boxes then just mount those as users and its all drag/drop.
Ed, Many years ago I used NFS to access applications and data files on a separate host. Now I want to fully configure and mirror the old server/workstation on the new box. I also need to set up dirvish on the new host and switch the two host names so postfix works on the replacement. Then the old host is retired.
For the local LAN I created ssh key pairs without a passphrase, with all hosts having a set in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and as theses never go "outside" no passphrase is not an issue.
I have the laptops and desktop talking with each other. It was the loss of ssh-agent after the reboots that was the issue. Regards, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
