| ChinnoDog | Is it common practice to copy one's ssh public and private keys to other server he manages? | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| ChinnoDog | s/server/servers | 00:18 |
| ChinnoDog | not sure if this is a security risk | 00:18 |
| jthan | I've done it. Never thought of it.. | 01:12 |
| jthan | Actually.. | 01:13 |
| jthan | I've never copied a public key | 01:13 |
| jthan | Errr | 01:13 |
| jthan | private | 01:13 |
| pleia2 | private keys should be on one system | 01:14 |
| jthan | Right. | 01:15 |
| jthan | And one system only | 01:15 |
| pleia2 | it may be easier to have the same ssh key everywhere, but it's kind of terrible | 01:15 |
| jthan | Public keys are okay to distribute though | 01:15 |
| pleia2 | yea | 01:15 |
| jthan | I don't really see how it would be "easier" anyhow.. | 01:15 |
| jthan | Still have to have both.. Requires the same amount of work imo | 01:15 |
| pleia2 | well you put one public key on your 10 servers, and you can log in from either one of your machines that stores the private key | 01:15 |
| pleia2 | so say you have a laptop and a desktop, if they have the same public and private keys you can log in anywhere | 01:16 |
| pleia2 | no need to add a desktop and laptop key to every server | 01:16 |
| jthan | Not everyone logs into ten servers like you do :-p | 01:16 |
| pleia2 | ChinnoDog said "servers" | 01:17 |
| pleia2 | so 2, 10, whatever | 01:17 |
| jthan | But even if you are adding a new server, you can still copy all the public keys? | 01:17 |
| jthan | That's all you would need. | 01:17 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 01:17 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2: so if I were using a bunch of computers I trusted then I can copy my private key but in general it is a bad idea | 01:19 |
| pleia2 | what reason do you have for copying your private key? | 01:19 |
| ChinnoDog | lazyness. lol. I created a new key on my server this time because it is internet accessible after all. | 01:20 |
| pleia2 | I guess I mean, what do you use it for? | 01:20 |
| ChinnoDog | in this case I was setting up ssh so I could use github from my server | 01:21 |
| ChinnoDog | (my hosted server) | 01:21 |
| ChinnoDog | to make it extra convenient to update a mediawiki plugin | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | ah | 01:21 |
| InHisName | so, ChinnoDog, you play games a lot ? Doesn't that deprive you of the joy of coding all the time ? | 02:18 |
| ChinnoDog | InHisName: :-p | 02:51 |
| === jackson_ is now known as jackson | ||
| === jackson is now known as Guest83356 | ||

| ChinnoDog | That happens about once a day | 21:01 |
| MutantTurkey | yawn | 22:56 |
| ChinnoDog | bark | 22:58 |
| MutantTurkey | finally embracing your true self ChinnoDog? | 22:58 |
| MutantTurkey | whats with the wikimedia based website? | 22:59 |
| MutantTurkey | also | 22:59 |
| MutantTurkey | is this you? | 22:59 |
| MutantTurkey | http://stephennichols.net/ | 22:59 |
| MutantTurkey | :-P | 22:59 |
| ChinnoDog | No that is not me :-p | 23:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Now I'm going to have to change my name when I become a movie star | 23:00 |
| pleia2 | wow, what happened to your blog? (wiki?) | 23:01 |
| ChinnoDog | yea, I'm in the middle of configuring it right now | 23:01 |
| ChinnoDog | I lost the old site a long time ago. lol | 23:01 |
| ChinnoDog | I finally locked out the spambots | 23:01 |
| MutantTurkey | cool | 23:02 |
| MutantTurkey | lol | 23:02 |
| ChinnoDog | Trying to pick the appropriate configuration of the wikilog plugin | 23:03 |
| MutantTurkey | yeah I don't like wiki to much anymore | 23:03 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm using mediawiki because I want to take advantage of all the neat plugins for creating content | 23:04 |
| ChinnoDog | the wiki needs a shorter name | 23:08 |
