You can put a passphrase on the key, if that's what you mean: ssh-keygen -p You then have to enter the passphrase to use the key, so an attacker getting hold of the key file can't use it without the passphrase. Of course, this can still be sniffed if they are on the box. -- Michael Rowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> IM - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Prof - ACM, IEEE, Computer Soc.
