How can I avoid having to type my password each time? Using RSA authentication to connect to Athena doesn't work, since the files in your home directory won't be readable to you unless you have Kerberos tickets and AFS tokens. If you make many connections to the dialups (such as might be needed if you were using a CVS repository in AFS from a machine without an AFS client) and don't want to type your password each time, you need an ssh client which can do krb5/gssapi authentication. First, you need to have Kerberos correctly configured. For Macintosh and Windows, visit http://web.mit.edu/software and download and install the appropriate package. For MacOSX 10.3 and later, the command line ssh should forward your tickets automatically, if you have authenticated with kinit beforehand. For Windows, SecureCRT supports gssapi authentication; get version 4.1.9 or later from http://web.mit.edu/software, and use the 'options' button on the 'Create Shortcut to Athena' to select gssapi auth. SecureCRT also provides a command line tool, suitable for using with CVS: vsh -auth gssapi athena.dialup.mit.edu last modified: 12/02/2004 |
