[olug] ssh

[Mike McNally]

I had to read 3 or 4 man pages to get it to work soas I could ssh in 
from my win98 box on the same lan.  At the bottom of man ssh is ref'd
ssh-agent, read that one.  And you may need to read ssh-keygen.  Yeah,
now that I remember there was a command I needed to run to generate an
encryption key.  This may or may not tie in with the discussion of md5.

Doing a diff ssh.config relative to the original:
p120:/etc/ssh# diff ssh_config.org ssh_config
24a25,27
> Host c366.home
>     ForwardAgent yes
>     ForwardX11 yes
40c43
< #   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
---
>   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity

> points to the changes I made.  But you have to run some keygenerating
command.  Or at least I had to.  I don't know if the identity file was
created by the command or if I had to edit that, but now you know where 
to look.  I use debian, samba.
