Sound config in kernel 2.3.99-pre

2000-04-12 Thread Jeronimo Pellegrini
Hello. I'm currently running woody, and I have an old SoudBlaster16 (one of those that came with an IDE interface for CD-rom), and it works fine when I use kernel 2.3.47. Now, when I was configuring the 2.3.99-pre3 kernel, I noticed that there's something different: I can't configure the

Or something similar. Basically I want to login to 30 machines and run some command but without having to enter my pass-phrase 30 times. I know I could use expect (and will if no-one has a better suggestion). But I'm sure there is a better way (why else would ssh-askpass exist?). eval

2000-04-12 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
That's what ssh-agent is for. You run ssh-agent and it will output environment variable for a unix domain socket. Then you run ssh-add and type in your passphrase. The ssh-agent caches your key and access is limited to your user (permissions on the unix socket). This is not secure enough for
