Yes, I have a script to send a nice melody to my living room computer when my coffee is ready that uses at and ssh. But, I often log in and get up and do things and theoretically someone could walk in the front door and sit down. Not that I'm paranoid, but I don't like the session/user to be able to do too much or know too much. So I don't make accessing another box too easy, unless I have a good reason. Plus there is the whole layered defense concept and all that. So, for a lot of scripting with ssh certificates, I use user operator. It was just sitting around with it's teeth in its mouth, so I put it to work. Plus the name sounded sort of descriptive. I wrote a script to do clipboard sharing over the network, for example. And, since I don't log in as operator ever, unless I am adding scripts or features, I have less of a security concern. -Gary ----- Forwarded message from Linus Sphinx <sphinxtar(a)gmail.com> ----- Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2022 07:54:01 -0600 From: Linus Sphinx <sphinxtar(a)gmail.com> To: Gary <saclug(a)garymcglinn.com> Subject: Re: [Lug-nuts] [sphinxtar(a)gmail.com: Re: Basic SSH] Way we had everything wired at etrade, made for some nice easy scripting.
