Integrating SSH in Gnu/Linux

SSH stands for Secure SHell and as the name indicates, it is a secure form of connecting to a remote network. SSH uses strong encryption to protect data while it is transfered from one node to another across a network which means any body who grabs packets while they are in transit will not be able to read the data. I had covered this topic in earlier posts namely "Setting up SSH Keys" (here) and "Secure SHell" (here).

Now Kimmo Suominen has written an excellent tutorial titled getting started with SSH in Linux which makes an interesting read. He takes the readers through the task of creating SSH keys, integrating SSH in X Windows (both local as well as remote displays), securely copying files between remote systems using scp, logging into remote systems using slogin and lot more.
