RE: [PLUG] Remote rebooting

["Chris" <chris@jynx.net>]

You can use ssh keys.   ssh-keygen

The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described in the
     previous section and allows the RSA or DSA algorithm to be used:
The
     client uses his private key, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa or
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa, to
     sign the session identifier and sends the result to the server.
The
     server checks whether the matching public key is listed in
     $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and grants access if both the key is
found and
     the signature is correct.  The session identifier is derived from a
     shared Diffie-Hellman value and is only known to the client and the
serv-er.

     If public key authentication fails or is not available a password
can be sent encrypted to the remote host for proving the user's
identity.

     Additionally, ssh supports hostbased or challenge response
authentica-tion.

Subject: [PLUG] Remote rebooting

I have a difficult to get to workstation running Debian Woody and ssh.
I ssh and scp to the workstation with ease.
Occasionally, I want to reboot the workstation.
How can I set the login and password without  physically being present?
