Other machines

Once you are connected to gate, you can SSH to other departmental machines and their public keys will be verified automatically.

If you use gate as a jump host (e.g. ssh -J USER@gate.maths.ox.ac.uk USER@TARGET.maths.ox.ac.uk), your local machine will need to verify the host key instead. You can run this on yourmachine to download the public key for that host:

ssh USER@gate.maths.ox.ac.uk 'grep ^TARGET, /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts' >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Note that SSH keys for machines other than gate are regenerated whenever the machine is reinstalled or upgraded, so you may periodically need to remove the key and download the new one.
