Topic: SSH Keys

These days I spend almost half my time in the shell poking my models and running rake and cap tasks. Everything runs smooth except when I have to perform remote tasks via SSH. I currently use SSH Agent in the background which helps secure things a bit more, but I get annoyed that I have to keep entering my password, especially on the cap deploy task.

Any suggestions for a better SSH tool for OS X?

Re: SSH Keys

I use:

Adams-iMac:~ adam$ ssh-agent bash
Adams-iMac:~ adam$ ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /Users/adam/.ssh/id_rsa: 
Identity added: /Users/adam/.ssh/id_rsa (/Users/adam/.ssh/id_rsa)
