Say that I have a machine that I genreate a ssh key on.
I'm using the latest openssh v2 software.
I take the .pub part of the key and I scp it to 20 servers
that I need ssh access to and put it in the authorized_keys2
file for each server. Now I can use my ssh key to get to any
of those 20 servers.
Now... I need to access 10 more servers, so I scp my pub
key to those 10 new servers and update their authorized_keys2
files too.
Next... I decide that I want to use another account/machine
in addition to the one I'm using now, so I have to make a new
ssh-key, and transfer that to each of the 30 servers and add that
key to their authorized_keys2 file.
Is there a better way to do this? Are there 'key' servers that
you can upload a key to and it's sent ( or accessed ) by the
machines that you login to so you just add a key to one place
and everything you use knows about it?
Thanks - jack
