Right,
We have ssh enabled. I like Public/private key encryption but for some reason I was unable to utilize it.

Someone suggested that I not change password on the Linux boxes and just use a strong combination, but...maybe unsafe...

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]

[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
