I can copy via scp with an empty passphrase just by copying the rsa-key for the user from the target machine, but I don't like having a empty passphrase account (even though a person would need the rsa key to login to this account?) Possible? Thanks, Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
