Note the KexAlgorithms line for GitHub. You might need to add this if you're getting a 'failed to negotiate a key exchange' error from github. See <code>ssh -vQ kex</code> for the algos your system supports.

Installing a program like [http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/ Seahorse] makes it trivially easy to manage your GnuPG encryption keys. Seahorse just makes it easier for you to do what you otherwise would accomplish with several commands. You can generate a private key; and add the public key to remote servers enabling you to login to those remote servers without using a password. | Installing a program like [http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/ Seahorse] makes it trivially easy to manage your GnuPG encryption keys.

=== VSCode and VirtualBox === | |||
When using [[VirtualBox]] to manage Linux VMs on your local Windows host, you can setup your SSH config file with a simple stanza to forward local connections on port 2222 to the SSH server on the VM like this. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> | |||
Host 127.0.0.1 | |||
HostName 127.0.0.1 | |||
User root | |||
Port 2222 | |||
IdentityFile C:/Users/greg/.ssh/id_ed25519 | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
In this way, [[VSCode]] will be able to seamlessly connect to the VM, without prompting for a password every time. | |||

The SSH key fingerprint tells you the authenticity of a host. Normally this info is stored in /etc/ssh/ for a Debian-based distro. You can also use the same command here to look at the fingerprint for your public key. | The SSH key fingerprint tells you the authenticity of a host.

Normally, with <code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "you@example.com"</code> you get a (private) key file <code>id_rsa</code>, plus a (public) key denoted with the extension .pub <code>id_rsa.pub</code>. But what about formats like .pem? Amazon AWS manages access with "keypairs" and you are prompted to download the private X509 certificate file as a .pem file when you generate the keypair. Where is the public key? Amazon displays the 'fingerprint' for the file which is usually enough to identify the private file, but can you place a fingerprint in the <code>authorized_keys</code> file? If you have a private key file and want to show the public key that corresponds to it, you can do so with <code>ssh-keygen</code> | Normally, with <code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "you@example.com"</code> you get a (private) key file <code>id_rsa</code>, plus a (public) key denoted with the extension .pub <code>id_rsa.pub</code>.

Maybe you've got a production database server that wasn't setup properly for security, and only allows "local" database connections. You need to access your production data from places other than your datacenter. You could fix it - but that would take a lot of effort that the boss doesn't care about.
