recognizing * character
i have a short script that takes a filename and secure copies the file to a remote machine. i'd like to be able to take a * character and secure copy all the files in the directory.

first of all, how would i compare $1 to see if it's a * character?

if [ $1 = '*' ] or [ $1 = '\*' ] didn't do it.

second question is how would i tell the shell script to do 'scp * user@<ip>:/'? or do i have to do it one by one in a loop?

keylogout

KEYLOGOUT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					      KEYLOGOUT(1)

NAME

     keylogout -- delete stored secret key

SYNOPSIS

     keylogout [-f]

DESCRIPTION

     The keylogout utility deletes the key stored by the key server process keyserv(8) to be used by any secure network services, such as NFS.
     Further access to the key is revoked, however current session keys may remain valid till they expire, or are refreshed.  This option will
     cause any background jobs that need secure RPC services to fail, and any scheduled at jobs that need the key to fail.  Also since only one
     copy is kept on a machine of the key, it is a bad idea to place this in your .logout file since it will affect other sessions on the same
     machine.

     The following option is available:

     -f      Forget the rootkey.  This will break secure NFS if it is done on a server.
