Re: [TCLUG:5795] SSH and NFS

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

You should keep your host_keys separate from the public parts of the
machine.  Make a directory and keep them there away from any
nfs-accessable directory trees.  You can also use scp or rsync to
distribute your ssh keys to your trusted hosts.
