You could do that (or use the root account); I can't: I don't have a ssh account on dinsdale. An even if I had, I couldn't write to pythondev's authorized_keys2. > I'm also a little confused about the pep. What does "admin access to > the pythondev account" mean?

Ok: to whom should I forward the ssh keys then which I'm currently collecting? >>Host pythondev >> Hostname dinsdale.python.org >> User pythondev >> IdentityFile ~/.ssh/pythondev >> >>So when I do "ssh pythondev", I get the shell account; when I do >>"svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/python/trunk/Modules", >>I use my default identity, which gets tunneled as "Martin v.

This is rather an OpenSSH convenience mechanism to avoid typing hostname and user name all the time. I introduce a local alias pythondev, which means I want to access [EMAIL PROTECTED], using the key pythondev.pub.
