requirements use this ability to secure their enterprise. (You can also use SSH to create a VPN to carry all IP protocols, but that's in Chapter 13.) For example, I manage my Web site and blog with WordPress. It provides a friendly pointy-clicky interface for web site administration, giving me a nice-looking site without actually needing to learn anything about Web design. My HTML education ended about 1996, and I have no desire to resume it. Traffic to and from my Web site is unencrypted, but I
Internet over the proxy, which means dynamic forwarding works. Backgrounding Forwarding OpenSSH Sometimes you want to use OpenSSH to forward a connection, but you don't really want a terminal session on the SSH server. Use the -N flag to tell ssh to not run anything, including a terminal, on the remote server, and the -f flag to tell ssh to go into the background on the client. Here, I background a local forwarding connection to the server pride. $ ssh -fNL 2222:localhost:22 pride & By
chatter in your logs. These hostnames appear in brackets in known_hosts, followed by a colon and the port number. [pride]:2222,[192.0.2.5]:2222 ssh-rsa AAA... In Chapter 5, we covered how you can obscure the hostnames in known_hosts by hashing them, preventing a casual intruder from getting server information from known_hosts. Listing multiple hostnames on a single line simplifies managing the known_hosts file, but this practice conflicts with hashing the hostnames. If you wish to hash hostnames

If you write a script to intelligently perform the comparison, please make it available to the rest of us. Or to me, at least. This known_hosts file will contain your preferred name for the SSH server and,
