11/5    In ssh1, I can make passphraseless keys that let me login from one
        place to another without typing a password/phrase (yes, yes, I know).
        How can I do this with ssh2?  My man pages aren't helping with what
        I need to put into what files to use passphrases instead of passwords.
        I know how to make the key, just not what to do with it.  Thanks!
        \_ copy .ssh/id_dsa.pub from your local machine to
           .ssh/authorized_keys2 on the foreign machine. - danh
           \_ And chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 --dbushong
                \_ Did both of these things and it still falls back to the
                   password auth... help?  Does it have something to do with
                   either the IdentityFile or AuthorizationFile settings in
                   sshd2_config?
        \_ add the "-v" flag when sshing, does that tell you
           anything useful?
        \_ Ok, I got it, thanks all.  Our machines had the http://www.ssh.com version
           installed which works a little differently than soda.  I needed to
           specify the dsa and pub files in the identification and
           authorization files with some trivial syntax.  This is from a pdf
           off <DEAD>www.ssh.com's<DEAD> support website.  Nothing in the man pages about
           it.  I guess that's how they make money with support and services.
           What danh and dbhushong said worked perfectly with soda which had
           me confused for a bit.  And -v was pretty useless, unfortunately.

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

9/24    How come changing my shell using ldapmodify (chsh doesn't work) doesn't
        work either? ldapsearch and getent show the new shell but I still get
        the old shell on login.
        \_ Scratch that, it magically took my new shell now. WTF?
