PASSWORDLESS CONNECTIONS
------------------------
It is recommended to run cdist with public key authentication.
This requires a private/public key pair and the entry
"PermitRootLogin without-password" in the sshd server.
See sshd_config(5) and ssh-keygen(1).


SPEEDING UP SSH CONNECTIONS
---------------------------
When connecting to a new host, the initial delay with ssh connections
is pretty big. You can work around this by
"sharing of multiple sessions over a single network connection"
(quote from ssh_config(5)). The following code is suitable for
inclusion into your ~/.ssh/config:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host *
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%l-%r@%h:%p
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPersist 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
