The use of Secure Shell (ssh) does not alleviate a site from
having to both develop and enforce an effective systems/network security
policy. This paper presents some general guidelines on the client side use of ssh
including key generation and management. Sites are strongly encouraged
to develop, if they don't already exist, security policies and procedures that
make sense for the respective installation and resources given
the facility in question. If local policies/procedures exist, these
should take priority over the following guidelines.
For examples in this document, we will deal with
a hypothetical workstation "WOMBATNET" and a user, with the username
"wombat". In addition the system WOMBATNET is either a Unix or Linux
operating environment and has the OpenSSH client software
installed and ready to use. All connection-based examples occur between
WOMBATNET and the NCAR system chinookfe.ucar.edu, unless stated otherwise.
