However, that would mean that would apply to ssh as well, so the user would have auto-login via ssh. The key is server side user based, not system wide. You would need a key set generated on each host (and pub sent to the server). You could have the key ask for a pass-phrase, but it sounds like you don't want that. I have a few docs related to SSH access at: http://nesbitt.yi.org:/howto.shtml Hope that helps. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
