Howdy: I'm not yet using hdup, but intend to start very soon. In the meantime, I'm wondering if it might not be preferable to suggest using the keychain script to keep one's ssh keys available for cron jobs than to suggest creating a key with no passphrase, as you suggest in question number 7 of your FAQ. More on keychain: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain.xml http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc2/ http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-08/potm_01.html I have a few cronned jobs that use ssh, and keychain works to keep me from having to jump through hoops. No vacant passphrases, no problems. The only time I have to think about it is on those rare occasions when the machine gets rebooted. Just a thought. Thanks for hdup, and keep up the good work! -- ---- Art Sackett ---- http://www.artsackett.com/ PGP/GPG Public Key: [email protected] (autoresponder) Look at it this way: Your wife's spending $280 a month on meditation lessons to forget $26,000 of college education.
