-------
+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
