No communication among the servers
Short of using alias, is there a way to have multiple keys play nice
with each other and me at the same time? I'm looking for my users
to be
able to straight 'ssh server' from any shell window they've opened in
their window manager.
When I have done this before, I have made a key pair for each client.
Each client keeps its private key private. It then sprinkles the
public
key about to any server it wishes to go to. One copy of one private
key, many copies of public keys in the authorized keys files on the
servers.
Hmm. That would work for multiple clients, and is indeed what I do
when in that scenario. However the issue is that I have a *single*
client and *multiple* servers. In this particular case, I have
multiple private ssh keys on a single client.
Thanks,
