|
||
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).</p></div><div class="section" title="3.

SPEEDING UP SSH CONNECTIONS</h2></div></div></div><p>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:</p><pre class="screen">Host *
|
||
ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%l-%r@%h:%p
|
||
ControlMaster auto
|
||
ControlPersist 10</pre></div><div class="section" title="4.

MULTI MASTER OR ENVIRONMENT SETUPS</h2></div></div></div><p>If you plan to distribute cdist among servers or use different
|
||
environments, you can do so easily with the included version
|
||
control git. For instance if you plan to use the typical three
|
||
environments production, integration and development, you can
|
||
realise this with git branches:</p><pre class="screen"># Go to cdist checkout
|
||
cd /path/to/cdist
|
||
|
||
# Create branches
|
||
git branch development
|
||
git branch integration
|
||
git branch production
|
||
|
||
# Make use of a branch, for instance production
|
||
git checkout production</pre><p>Similar if you want to have cdist checked out at multiple machines,
|
||
you can clone it multiple times:</p><pre class="screen">machine-a % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
|
||
machine-b % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist</pre></div><div class="section" title="5. SEE ALSO"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_see_also"></a>5.
