Re: ssh questions/issue

Yes, it is possible. I believe you would need to put the public key into the authorized_keys file and install the keys on all of the boxes for user1.

Hi/morn guys...

Searching for answers/opinions on how to allow multiple users to access a number of different boxes via ssh, using ssh keys..

Say I have 5 boxes on my network,

box1

box2
box3
box4
box5

Each box has a generic user - user1, with limited perms/access

On my local box, i create a pub/private ssh key. I copy the pub key to each box..

From my local box, I can then ssh -using the priv/pub key into box1.

From box1, can I then hop/ssh over to box2, using the pub key for the user1 that I created/installed?

I'm trying to figure out how I can hop between boxes as needed without having to have lots of pub/private keys ...

(Viewed some articles that seem to indicate I can do this)

Thoughts/comments..
