To provide us with access to one of your servers, you can simply create an account on your server (we recommend either "yourtech" or "ytjohn") and use our public SSH key.

This is a very secure method because there is only one private key that can access this and it is password protected on our end. 

Perform the following steps:

1. Create an account:
   useradd ytjohn
2. Create a password for that account (can be anything)
   passwd ytjohn
3. Log into the server using the account to make sure it works
4. Create a directory called ".ssh"  (mkdir .ssh)
5. Change to the .ssh directory (cd .ssh)
6. Create a file called "authorized_keys" with the public RSA key below.  If you use the example commands below, press [Ctrl]+[D] when done to save it.
   cat > authorized_keys
   ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA2ffZRDJ4PbrHe2eu4mJshZtoyN9+SPB2vK5KQRXRgM3v9tJq2yraGxgVmv8I4Sh7x003aTKyJ9Z8LLP0+93DfhENe9Wl2CjIeCRV0VqGj0+GLV/uh/u6T9Pgggir80IZ0amuer1AwAkaloSlhctX/Di7goRgvQ1Bt2HFdsKmeu1BwhGspGImvx7AlrpXUUIOEzeq1fYtu3I0XegItXKipxtOELzFKxkwFJC2It+nHzkaf04KLxDLJr+wzoNQz3LfzhJP4U/ZFo+J5W+fE6ZnA98dtkaaOENiort1vlgeQtwqfGXJmiwmcWl6TbJ94xo93hz019+aVhczBlaBP7HmZw== ytjohn@main-desktop
   
7. You may want to save a text file in this directory with any additional login information (for example, the password of the newly created account, the root password, etc).  Alternatively, you may want to wait until we have verified access to the account before creating this file.
