:> Can you do any or all of these things from a script? As I recall, :> ssh requires "live" entry of the password from the keyboard (though :> I haven't tried it lately). : :Only if you require a password to access your keypair. Otherwise, it :doesn't require it. : : :Nate Right. I give my backup machine a keypair to the 'operator' account on my other machines through which it runs the dumps. I bought a cheap high capacity IDE drive for the backup machine big enough to hold the dumps to avoid having to direct them to the tape in real time, which saves a lot on tape drive wear. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
