I missed the ssh talk, so maybe I'm not understanding exactly what you're trying to do. That said, what I tend to do for running scrips from one host on other hosts (via cron or whatever) is create a separate non-root user that only has privileges to run the nessessary maintenance tasks on the machines that need to be maintained (sudo is great for this). Then use a passphrase-less ssh key for that user. Erich _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
