The Mojah Media Network

This quick how to is for you newbies on Linux. It took me about ~1hr to put together the info. I'll keep it short.

This was configured on Ubuntu and allows me to use the Gnome terminal and it's cool tab feature to log into our web servers.

Configuring SSH host aliases
==================
Your .ssh directory is located in the home/your_username directory. Create a paragraph in the file (you may have to create the file) ~/.ssh/config with the following contents:

Host my_alias
HostKeyAlias mojah
Hostname xx.xxx.xx.xx
User username
Port xxxx


Host - whatever alias you want to use
HostKeyAlias - the same as above. This will be set in your known_hosts file after first login
Hostname - IP or domain for the host
User - the ssh username
Port - Specify the port if not the standard 22

Now at the command prompt all I have to type in is ssh my_alias
