<story><title>SSH Kung Fu </title><url>http://blog.tjll.net/ssh-kung-fu/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>patio11</author><text>A trick I learned recently: create .ssh&amp;#x2F;config&lt;p&gt;File format: as many of the following blocks as you like&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  Host $ALIAS &amp;lt;-- whatever you want here
  Hostname www.example.com
  User someuser
  Port 1234
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
You can now ssh to that server as that user by doing &amp;quot;ssh $ALIAS&amp;quot; on the command line, without needing to specify the port or user with the usual command line arguments, or necessarily spell out the entire host name.</text></comment>

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
Is that - you ask - because he&amp;#x27;s using ssh-agent? No, it&amp;#x27;s because he doesn&amp;#x27;t tell you you should be using a password-protected key. Some kung fu.</text></comment>
