Self-managed machines – kerberos and ssh
It is possible to set up self-managed machines to use kerberos with ssh to connect to DICE machines without entering a password and we strongly recommend that you do this. We have created step-by-step instructions to help you set this up under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. These instructions are also linked to from the FAQ.
I’m not a Windows user, but the instructions for Windows don’t actually say how to get a kerberized version of ssh working. I don’t think installing kerberos makes Cygwin’s ssh Just Work like it does in Ubuntu.
