Re: Synching between servers?

Do people auto synch files between servers and, if so, how do they manage ssh keys?

1. Key is unprotected (only readable by root)
2. Key is manually loaded into agent after a reboot.
3. Job is run from a third host using forwarding.
4. Something else?

I've used 1 but usually the server with the key is behind a vpn for inbound connections so a key compromise probably isn't the worst of my issues, but I've now got a case where the servers are symmetric and there's not an obvious place for the key.

Please run the following commands on the hosts and post the complete console sessions -- prompts, commands entered, and output displayed:

$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a


Please describe your network, your hosts, your services, and your use-case.
