OS X & SSH
After close to a a year of manually entering ssh credentials to connect to four different hosts ( + constantly getting logged out when the wireless dies or the remote host times out) I decided to finally take the time to figure out how to get openssh running on os x so I could ssh without a password. I got the key pairs working but still had the problem of being prompted for my key password which wasn’t any better than getting prompted for my remote host password. Turns out I also needed to run SSHAgent, a program that keeps my passwords in memory and has the best icon ever – an unphased blowfish going to work.
