Using an ssh-agent, or how to type your ssh password once, safely. If you work a lot on linux and use ssh often, you quickly realize that typing your password every time you connect to a remote host gets annoying. Not only that, it is not the best solution in terms of security either. The main configuration step of this Configuring SSH lesson is this step. Here, we will do the SSH configuration in line mode. Firstly, we will go to line mode and configure the ssh for 17 users from 0 to 16. And then we will use “transport input ssh”. This command will allow only SSH access. Telnet accesses will be rejected.
