Bug#177531: www.debian.org: http://www.debian.org/devel/passwordlessssh gives a dangerous advice about ssh
Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2003-01-20
Severity: normal
Tags: security
This Web page explains how to set up a remote access (presumably to
Debian machines) with a passwordless SSH key. This is both dangerous
(not every developer is the only root on his machine so setting the
file to 0600 is not enough) and useless (ssh-agent is by default in
the Xsession options, you just have to run ssh-add once when you log
in).
