January 27, 2024Technical StuffmacOS, SSHadmin

Mainly as a reminder for myself, here is what to do so that macOS doesn’t always ask for your SSH key passphrase.

Host *
   AddKeysToAgent yes
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
   UseKeychain yes

Connecting to Raspberry Pi via SSH: Connection Timeout

November 22, 2014Technical StuffLinux, Networking, Raspberry Pi, SSHchris

When trying to connect to my new Raspberry Pi via SSH, this only worked when done locally. It turned out to be caused by the /ect/hosts file.
