When I opened my email on some forgotten time, I got
an invitation to try a shiny new host with sdf
features but built with a different os.
The hostname is beastie.sdf.org
It has different ssh public key than tty.sdf.org and I
can't get password authentication to work.
Fortunately, public key authentication is working.
Just a little addition to ~/.ssh/config to add
beastie.sdf.org with my username and I was able to
login into beastie.
Well, what is different from tty.sdf.org?
First: the os.
beastie runs OpenBSD instead of NetBSD
Second: programs installed.
Fewer programs are installed, but the list is growing
as needed. Missing programs can be requested via
bboard.
Third: ssh host key
A new host key prompt should be triggered during first
ssh login and will be saved for next ssh access.
Ok. My experience with beastie has been so awesome.
Here is a bonus: neofetch from beastie as of
