[ale] i just don't "get" it yet GOT IT

[George Johnson]

I just ssh to the ip of the host.  Currently I am doing it from my M$ box
where I am chatting with friends.  I downloaded putty to give the lame M$
that ability.

        If you always want to use a different username, make a
~/.ssh/config file with something like:


Host zooble.foo.net
  User otherguy


        Then whenever you ssh to zooble.foo.net it'll send `otherguy'
rather than your current login.  You can use wildcards (*.foo.net) if
the username differs for an entire domain.  See the ssh man page for
other spiffy things you can tweak in the ssh config.


        Another way is to use a recent version of zsh and configure
the completion system with your remote user:host information.  Then
tab completion will offer the remote name(s) as completions.  Zsh
rocks. :)
