The more I can automate, the better. Hmm, the cheatsheet would be: - ssh-keygen -d => create passwordless ssh key - ${EDITOR} ~/.ssh/config => setup configfile to use the passwordless key to those machines. A nice trick is to use CNAME/A record in your local dns, with 'sysguard.machinename.local.domain' and set that as Host for the passwordless key. This allows you to use keys with passwords on normal hostname, should you desire so. The rest is drag'n'drop - create new tabs for a host and drag the infomodule over that you want displayed. Right-click for properties, like size and graph type then save the worksheet. Once the worksheet is setup, nothing on the remote machine is needed and you can set it as default, create/open new ones etc. This is really personal preference. I create worksheets per type (load/memory/disks) and have all machines in different tabs, but others might find it more useful to create worksheets per machine. -- Mel
