Probably should really start a new for this but let me ask about
something above:
First, no the sshd is NOT accessible from internet and it is setup
with authorized_keys so still some security.
About setting sudo for passwordless... yes I know how to do that, but
I ran into some confusing problems with environment when using sudo.
For example, many functions I keep in a file on ~/.SYS_RR_ENV that I
pass from machine to machine (also at /root/.SYS_RR_ENV), these
functions are unknown to the root I get through sudo.
I know that can be tweaked too but I found it confusing and would
sooner use ssh which gives full login env.
