I'm now on a home network where IP addresses are handed out dynamically by
the router/bridge/DSL modem combo. Suppose I have two Linux computers,
Satan and Lucifer.
Now that I no longer have predictable IP addresses on the home network, how
do I accomplish something like:
satan$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
when there's no longer a valid /etc/hosts file?
Thanks!

Dear Peter,
Assuming you want to keep the IP addresses dynamic, you can find the
address assigned to lucifer using ifconfig as root and seeing the address
assigned to eth0. If it were 192.168.0.53, you could ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
from satan. The dynamic address assigned to lucifer should remain the same
until a reboot. You can use scp and rsync the same way.
Yours,
Chris
