Thanks... that worked OK... now comes the clincher:
If I never have to give it any authentication info...
where is the security? I.e. why shouldn't anybodyu
else who can workout a password for the user's acc't
do just what I'm doing?
Since PuTty has places to enter Authentication Key(s),
why isn't it required that we do, i.e. -before- we can
gain access to am e-smith shell?
What are we missing here... ;-)
TIA
