Duplicate ssh sessions without password prompt

I work with multiple ssh sessions whenever I connect to a server. Typically I would have about 3 sessions initiated from my host machine to the destination server.

Found away to duplicate my session without retyping my password every time I initiate a connection the the server from my host machine thanks to  Linux By Examples.

Add the following 2 lines to your /etc/ssh/ssh_config file and feature will be ready for you to use once you restart the sshd service.

ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/socket-%r@%h:%p

Streamyx 4.0 mbps

Saw the ad in the papers this morning. Streamyx at 4.0 mbps, hard to believe but yes it’s true.

The current promotion package is priced at RM198 /month, RM70 cheaper then the normal price 268/month. Promotion ends till June 17, 2007.

I’m thinkin hard if I sould jump on the deal or wait for feedback from others before I decide. Anyone out there interested or already running the new 4.0mbps package? I need your advice.

Latest in the digg labs “arc”

Arc is the latest animation app in the digg labs that show life digging activity at the topic and sub-topic level represented by rings. The middle ring is sub-topics, inner ring main topic and outer ring represent the most recent dugg topics. The most recent dugg stories will be added to the out ring with a quick flash effect.

Arc gets it’s name from lines that link related stories in the outer ring across topics. Stories are linked when an user diggs 2 or more different stories. This makes for a more effective way to discover new topics and stories.

To finish off, Arc has a full screen view that makes use of your whole screen. Nice feature. Now you can see how information grows. Literally.

My View

I like the idea behind the tool very much. It’s a new way to present and discover information.
