do I have to have a local user on my local linux as "bob".. pretty sure
I don't! but I'm not sure where the local ssh key should be placed, to
allow me to ssh into the remote using the key. Also, how doe this
process work when accessing the remote from other local servers.. I'm
assuming, I have to copy the key/files to any box I want to access the
remote VM from.
The public key needs to be in bob's .ssh/authorized_keys file. The
private key needs to be in the .ssh folder of any user on any computer
that wants to ssh to that account. "ssh bob@1.2.3.4" If you don't have
the private key saved as the default key, then you will need to either
specify it on the command line or put it in the .ssh/config file. If
you put it in the config file, you can also set it up so you don't need
to specify the "bob@" part either. It will automatically use that user
for that host.
