Yes, the key setup is completely independent of the username. If it's not working on a particular server, it could be that the server is configured to disallow key-based authentication, or is just using an incompatible ssh daemon. On a sort of tangent, you can use your ~/.ssh/options to save yourself typing if you're often logging in to multiple machines with different usernames on each by using "nicknames" for each remote account. For example, you can set up something like this: Host chipotle HostName chipotle.longhostname.longdomainname.edu User jorg Host pimiento HostName pimiento.longhostname.longdomainname.edu User joerg and then "ssh chipotle" or "ssh pimiento" will do the obvious thing. This way, you can also specify different options such as compression or no, or even to connect on different ports, which can be very useful for saving typing when working around draconian firewalls. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.digitalconsumer.org/ Protecting fair-use rights in the digital world
