Hi.

Stepping into centos 7 -- selinux...

I've got a basic question for ssh. Creating a new/base VM- digitalocean.

I create the VM via the DO website, get a test IP Address 1.2.3.4

(I'm running on a local linux/centos) with a test user "fooUser"
the VM creation process creates the root user with the rootPasswd

from the local linux (user fooUser), I log into/ssh the remote VM:
  ssh root@1.2.3.4

 I get into the remote server as "root"

My question,

  on the remote VM, I want to create a user "bob". I also want to modify the remote to ssh into the VM as bob, using sshkeys

do I have to have a local user on my local linux as "bob".. pretty sure I don't! but I'm not sure where the local ssh key should be placed, to allow me to ssh into the remote using the key. Also, how doe this process work when accessing the remote from other local servers.. I'm assuming, I have to copy the key/files to any box I want to access the remote VM from.

I'm missing something subtle here..

thanks!!

b safe out there
