Hey All,<div><br></div><div>What I'm looking at is I have files on <a href="http://aluminium.wikimedia.org">aluminium.wikimedia.org</a> that I need to move to my labs instance. The connection must be outbound from Al into labs. My instance has a public IP and I can access it from outside with my labs account. The trouble occurs when I tried to be all fancy and secure and set up a service account on my labs instance so that I could SCP the files from al to labs without using my own full privilege account.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I create a new user al_data_agent, generate an ssh key, put the key in /etc/ssh/userkeys/al_data_agent/.ssh/authorized_keys, set appropriate permissions on that path, and add an appropriate line to /etc/security/access.conf. Whoo!</div>
<div><br></div><div>... but this all only lasts as long as the next puppet run. So! What is the correct way to do what I'm trying to do?</div><div><br clear="all"><div>~Matt Walker<br><div><div>Wikimedia Foundation</div>
