Instead of aliases, you can put this into ~/. ssh/config: |
6 |
Host abcd |
7 |
Port 51023 |
8 |
Hostname 174.183.26.11 |
9 |
|
10 |
And then you can simply do this: |
11 |
ssh abcd |
12 |
|
13 |
As a bonus, the host abcd will work with scp and rsync too. You can |
14 |
check man ssh_config for some other options to use, for example the |
15 |
User is very useful too. Here are some more tricks: |

There is a package net-misc/keychain which is useful to add your keys |
19 |
to the agent, and handles gpg keys too. |
20 |
|
21 |
Also note that most ssh servers allow only 3-5 authentication |
22 |
attempts, so if you have more than 2 keys in your agent, then |
23 |
connecting to a server with password authentication might fail. |
24 |
|
25 |
If you need to keep security boundaries but don't want to give up the |
26 |
convenience of ssh agent forwarding then you can use ssh-ident, as |
27 |
described here: http://rabexc.org/posts/pitfalls-of-ssh-agents |
28 |
(unfortunately no gentoo package for that one, but it's just a single |
29 |
python file). |
