[00:17] Is it common practice to copy one's ssh public and private keys to other server he manages? [00:18] s/server/servers [00:18] not sure if this is a security risk [01:12] I've done it. Never thought of it.. [01:13] Actually.. [01:13] I've never copied a public key [01:13] Errr [01:13] private [01:14] private keys should be on one system [01:15] Right. [01:15] And one system only [01:15] it may be easier to have the same ssh key everywhere, but it's kind of terrible [01:15] Public keys are okay to distribute though [01:15] yea [01:15] I don't really see how it would be "easier" anyhow.. [01:15] Still have to have both.. Requires the same amount of work imo [01:15] 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 [01:16] 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] no need to add a desktop and laptop key to every server [01:16] Not everyone logs into ten servers like you do :-p [01:17] ChinnoDog said "servers" [01:17] so 2, 10, whatever [01:17] But even if you are adding a new server, you can still copy all the public keys? [01:17] That's all you would need. [01:17] yeah [01:19] 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] what reason do you have for copying your private key? [01:20] lazyness. lol. I created a new key on my server this time because it is internet accessible after all. [01:20] I guess I mean, what do you use it for? [01:21] in this case I was setting up ssh so I could use github from my server [01:21] (my hosted server) [01:21] to make it extra convenient to update a mediawiki plugin [01:21] ah [02:18] so, ChinnoDog, you play games a lot ? Doesn't that deprive you of the joy of coding all the time ? [02:51] InHisName: :-p === jackson_ is now known as jackson === jackson is now known as Guest83356 [13:52] Morning [20:56] its afternoon, now [21:01] That happens about once a day [22:56] yawn [22:58] bark [22:58] finally embracing your true self ChinnoDog? [22:59] whats with the wikimedia based website? [22:59] also [22:59] is this you? [22:59] http://stephennichols.net/ [22:59] :-P [23:00] No that is not me :-p [23:00] Now I'm going to have to change my name when I become a movie star [23:01] wow, what happened to your blog? (wiki?) [23:01] yea, I'm in the middle of configuring it right now [23:01] I lost the old site a long time ago. lol [23:01] I finally locked out the spambots [23:02] cool [23:02] lol [23:03] Trying to pick the appropriate configuration of the wikilog plugin [23:03] yeah I don't like wiki to much anymore [23:04] I'm using mediawiki because I want to take advantage of all the neat plugins for creating content [23:08] the wiki needs a shorter name
