ssh keys from two behind-the-firewall boxes?



this is probably item #2 of the really-obvious-faq that i'm not
yet aware of, so i'll go ahead and ask because i haven't taken
the opportunity to look like a goober in, oh, about half a day,
now...

doing the ssh-keygen thing works like a charm; you copy your
private keys to the remote box and then just slap it into your
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and poof, no more passwords! so now
you can run ssh-driven scripts without having to worry about the
username/password interruption.

it's ip-based, isn't it?

    workstation     workstation      workstation
    192.168.1.2    192.168.1.100    192.168.1.201
    key xyzpdq     key 1234567      key x0x0x0x0
          |               |                |
          +---------------+----------------+
          |
    192.168.1.5
    firewall
    208.33.90.85
          |
        {web}
          |
    11.22.33.44
    remote box

but the remote just sees all the 192.168.1.* boxes as
208.33.90.85, right? where's the doc on getting ALL the
192.168.1.* boxes to ssh password-free to the remote machine?
(or, when it challenges, the challenge only reaches the
firewall, something like that. hmm?)

so far, my experience has been that i can ssh password-free
only from the 'on-the-public-link' firewall.

:
Wondering about which KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ARE UNDERSTOOD BY BASH?
Enter this at your bash shell prompt:
	bind -p | less
and see how much of that you can interpret :). For more info
about all of this stuff, do "man bash" then search for "emacs"
and "readline" (to search a manpage, press / and then the pattern
to look for).
