Right?!!!?   I'd been doing it the hard way for 15 yrs before someone showed
this config file to me.  So simple, but us old-guys don't know it for some reason.

THIS changed my life. Plus it is a handy way to document in a central/useful
place all those remote systems, remote userids and remote ports.


BTW - everyone does know about ssh-copy-id, right?
