Generate a public-private key pair (ssh-keygen, I believe). There are two protocols to contend with, and one requires a flag like -d. Copy the *public* key to the remote host, append to the appropriate authorized keys file in ~/.ssh there. When it's all set up just ssh <remote-host> and you're in. If you feel that your user account is not very secure you can choose to have your private key encrypted, but then you always have to enter the passphrase, which brings you back to were we began. --+---+---+-- Gary Dunn Open Slate Project http://www.aloha.com/~knowtree/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
