Minor typo in the overview sheet

“Scp ~/.ssh/dsa_key.pub student@192.168.50.14:~/.ssh/authorized_keys”

should be “scp” not “Scp”.

There are just a few things I would change: 1) Emphasize disabling password-logins and possibly changing the port number (above 1024). SSH servers sitting on port 22 can get upwards of hundreds of attacks per hour! 2) You have "Scp ~/.ssh/dsa_key.pub student@192.168.50.14:~/.ssh/authorized_keys" in your Overview. Not only should scp be all lowercase (typo), but that only works for the FIRST public key you want to add. ssh has a VERY nice utility called "ssh-copy-id student@192.168.50.14" It is simpler and works for multiple users. 3) Show off some of the cool stuff you can do such as sftp and sshfs.
