Yup, I routinely do that. Have you actually tried this or are you
contemplating? What does 'ssh -v' tell you?
Create a pair of keys (ssh-keygen -t dsa) without passphrase, copy that
to the host in question with scp (scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:.ssh/lusername), ssh into the host and append the
key (in file .ssh/lusername) to .ssh/authorized_keys2.
On the workstation, edit .ssh/config, add:
host remotehost
user remoteuser
and you're done. Beware of "StrictModes" at the shared host, btw.
Using the same usernames on both sides is at best convenient, but
probably more trouble than it's worth.
HTH... Nico
