Edit your .bashrc file (should be a hidden file in your home directory ex. /home/username/.bashrc) and add the following line:<br />
<br />
alias ssh='ssh -i /path/to/dsa/ host'<br />
<br />
But that will make it so everytime you type ssh it will connect to the same host. A better option would be to make a unique alias like so:<br />
<br />
alias myss='ssh -i /path/to/dsa/ host'

I may have explained wrong, I meant for the hot to be passed along as an argument.<br />
<br />

Why not;<br />
<br />
alias ssh='ssh -i /path/to/dsa '

Well, now I just feel dumb for not thinking about it...

Hi all.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to make a bash alias with a parameter on my Debian (I'm very new to linux, so be gentle)<br />
I'm trying to override the basic ssh &lt;host&gt; command with the following ssh -i &lt;path to my dsa file&gt; &lt;host&gt;.<br />
I know I can basically edit the ssh_conf file t make it include my file anyways, but I'd still like to know wow to create the command as an alias in the bashrc file.

Hi all.

I'm trying to make a bash alias with a parameter on my Debian (I'm very new to linux, so be gentle)
I'm trying to override the basic ssh <host> command with the following ssh -i <path to my dsa file> <host>.
I know I can basically edit the ssh_conf file t make it include my file anyways, but I'd still like to know wow to create the command as an alias in the bashrc file.

Debian OS use Alias with parameter

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.
