Change location of SSH Private Key

2009-05-04 Thread Harry Rickards
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was wondering whether it was possible to give a path to the SSH Private Key in the ~/.ssh/config config file, instead of having to give it as an option. I can't find anything by RTFM, or STFW. Thanks. - -- Many thanks Harry Rickards (a.k.a l33tmyst)
