Multiple Public keys for ssh root user (connecting from multiple computers)

[bradaleyx]

I can SSH into freenas from my laptop using a public key. What I want to do is allow both my laptop and my desktop to ssh in as root. In the GUI, under users, root, it has a spot for public key. How do i enter more than one?

I don't wan't to have to change they key every time I want to switch devices. Is there a way to do this from the GUI?

Does your security scenario preclude the use of the same private key on all devices connecting to the server via SSH?

I suppose it doesn't. Would I just copy the id_rsa.pub file to my desktop and go from there? I didn't even know I could, and don't know how to do that, but it would work for me!

Not the .pub file, copy the file without the extension.

Worked great! Thanks!
