[KLUG Members] ssh-keygen

[bert]

Hi all,

When generating a ssh key with ssh-keygen I always use -t DSA.
On the question to enter a passphrase, I always just press entre twice (no passfrase).
After reading the howto I am not sure anymore if this the most secure choise.
The howto explains that this passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file using 3DES.
Is this good or bad? So should I enter a passfrase or better not?


Tanks,
Bert.
