Probably should really start a new for this but let me ask about something above: First, no the sshd is NOT accessible from internet and it is setup with authorized_keys so still some security. About setting sudo for passwordless... yes I know how to do that, but I ran into some confusing problems with environment when using sudo. For example, many functions I keep in a file on ~/.SYS_RR_ENV that I pass from machine to machine (also at /root/.SYS_RR_ENV), these functions are unknown to the root I get through sudo. I know that can be tweaked too but I found it confusing and would sooner use ssh which gives full login env. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
