You can setup your ssh session so that it uses certificates to authenticate you to the server, instead of using username/password conbination. THen your certificate is kept in your account in your client machine. When you connect to the server, the ssh client automatically grabs your cert., does a few operations with the server to authenticate you, and you are all set. You don't need to enter anything manually. from the security point of view, you need to keep your certificate in the client machine safe, obviously. -- Pedro Soria-Rodriguez sorrodp(a)alum.wpi.edu

ssh

by Brad Noyes

Hi, When i pop my mail i create a tunnel through ssh, and pop through that. Using this command "ssh -C -f me(a)pop.myserver -L 10110:pop.myserver:110 sleep 30" Well every time i create the tunnel i have to enter my password for the pop server. Is there a way to use ssh tools so i don't have to enter my password? I'm using kmail is that's relevant. Thanks, --Brad
