So, I just ssh to whatever machine I need to work on, but occasionally need to rsync or scp files to/from that server. Sure, I could have puppet push a ~/.ssh/config file everywhere, just seems more effort than it's worth. After all if a hacker wants to know if you are running ssh, it's not hard to scan all ports for ssh. Why inconvenience yourself more than the attacker?
