This awesome page told me about the <<< operator in bash. It rocks. It also told me the best way to set an initial login password:
umask u=rw,go=
openssl rand -base64 6 | tee -a PasswordFile | passwd –stdin joe
chage -d 0 joe
Also, there’s ssh-copy-id:
Usage: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
I'm a computer programmer from Ellicott City, MD.
I go to OSCON often, write random code, and blag about it here.
I enjoy cooking,
reviewing beer, hiking, kayaking, and watching movies and television shows. I am a licensed HAM Radio operator (KB3RXM), and am on my way to becoming a licensed private pilot.
