What should be in labs ~/.ssh

What files should and shouldn't be in your /home/$USER/.ssh directory on labs machines? If you try to update a labs instance over ssh from gerrit then I think you need your private key on the labs machine. Is that OK? -- [A concerned user] :)

You should absolutely not have a private ssh key there. If you want to access gerrit, forward your agent. Otherwise, that directory is generally ignored.--Ryan Lane (talk) 18:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
