[cut the rest of the info] It works great! Very simple if you know how to act ;) I understand that I have to copy my public key to all machines I want to have a remote login-to. So far so good.. But what do I do ON another machine (in my intranet)? Do I use *another* private key there or can I just use the one I have on my "main" machine? Thanks for all your help.
