Setting Up An SSH Certificate For Ubuntu From A Mac. This howto should help you with setting up an RSA public and private key setup from a Mac to an Ubuntu box.

Of course, this should be possible with other OS's but I have not tested it. Please post if it was useful! For the past week I have been trying to set up an RSA SSH certificate for accessing my Ubuntu servers from PuTTY and Mac's SSH through a terminal. However I have been faced with some serious problems, thankfully the guys over at ubuntuforums.org could help me out.

So here is a quick howto I wrote so that people don't have the same kind of trouble that I did. Just to clear things up an SSH key is a way to secure your connection to SSH. First off lets start with making the key on a Mac: Open up a terminal (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal). Now you can make a few different bit lengths (which is the how secure the key is). So type the following to begin the process: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 or ssh-keygent -t rsa -b 4096 (whichever amount of security you prefer.) CandyBar 3 - Change and Organize Your Mac OS X Icons and Dock. A quick update on CandyBar!

Updated for 10.8. First, we’ve updated CandyBar for Mac OS X 10.8! You can now customize the 10.8 system icons. Just launch the app and click the big “Update” button to get the latest IconData. But there’s a catch, or two: in Mountain Lion, Apple changed how the Dock is rendered, so it’s no longer possible to customize the Dock’s look. CandyBar, although simply changing files on disk, has always fallen into a slightly-uncomfortable-for-us grey area of existence. Now free, and unsupported. Since we’re unsure about the long-term future of changing system icons, we’re not comfortable charging money for CandyBar, and we’re also not comfortable simply making it disappear, instead we’re going to make the current CandyBar free — but unsupported. That said, being CandyBar fans, we’ll strive to keep CandyBar up-to-date with minor 10.8 releases, so you can keep using it for the foreseeable future! First, here’s the latest build of the app: Thanks for reading!
