| > How about putting different hosts into groups, and then running a command on the group so that every machine in the group runs the same command? That can be done with a simple awk/fzf script, which would even allow me to interactively chose the hosts from the ones configured in the ssh config. > How about managing both hosts and users so that I can easily log into a system as different users for different purposes? The ssh config already allows doing that: Host prod-as-foo
HostName domain.of.prod.server
User foo
Identity File ~./ssh/foo.key
Host prod-as-bar
HostName domain.of.prod.server
User bar
Identity File ~./ssh/bar.key
> How about adding some security features to make key management more secure than the standard "everything in the .ssh directory" strategy?IdentityFile keys can be setup to be symmetrically encrypted, requiring a password on use. The keyfiles can also be loaded via `ssh-agent(1)`, allowing to directly use non-local keyfiles (source: `man ssh`) > Maybe add some SCP/SFTP features so that moving files from host to host is easier. Both `scp` and `sftp` already use the ssh config file. |
