Indeed. Seconded. Concur, wholeheartedly. Just put all the keys in one authorized_keys file and copy that around. Regards, Tyler -- "Privacy has to be viewed in the context of relative power. For example, the government has a lot more power than the people. So privacy for the government increases their power and increases the power imbalance between government and the people; it decreases liberty. Forced openness in government – open government laws, Freedom of Information Act filings, the recording of police officers and other government officials, WikiLeaks – reduces the power imbalance between government and the people, and increases liberty." -- Bruce Schneier -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
