The most valuable thing would the the keys itself..
luckily got backup elsewhere ..
the customization to add for its to select correct keys for each machine..
simply create a file at “~/.ssh/config”
with content as such..
host skynet* IdentityFile ~/.ssh/namran.skynet.keys User namran host *.home.namran.net IdentityFile ~/.ssh/namran.home.keys User namran Port 1111 host *.dev.namran.net IdentityFile ~/.ssh/namran.dev.keys User namran Port 1222 host 192.168.199.100 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ae.keys User root
make sure the permission is correct for each keys and also config.
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*.keys
then.. login to those machine..
would be as easy as
[namran@nb-namran]$ssh -l root ae [root@AQ ~]#
