 +Copying ssh keys to the gateway is not (yet) possible, hence you will always need two passwords: one for the ssh key and one for the gateway.

 +==== Speedup login by using ssh keys ====
 + 
 +An alternative method of authenticating via ssh is by using ssh keys. It will ease the pain of writing many passwords. The only password you will need is to unlock your key.

 +==== How not to loose all your job because you closed a ssh terminal ====
 +
 +Use **screen**. //GNU screen// is an amazing tool that opens a remote terminal that is independent on your ssh connection. If the connection drops or you accidentally close the ssh window, it will still run your jobs on the cluster.
 +
 +A quick and dirty tutorial can be read [[:​it_tips#​screen|here]],​ but there'​s plenty more on the internet.
