Re: ssh configuration


When writing /etc/shosts.equiv, is it valid to use IP addresses instead
of hostnames?
+192.168.1.1
+192.168.1.2
...

Yes.

Or better yet, is this supported:
+192.168.1.0/24

No.

In Windows, I have OpenSSH (Cygwin) and a commercial GUI client. I
already have keys made with the latter. Is it ok to just copy them into
.ssh for OpenSSH to use, or should OpenSSH get its own key pair?

You may have to convert them to the right format, but sure, you can use
the same keys.
