Vapor I received a really confusing support question regarding SSHPassKey this morning. It mentioned a tool called Vapor that I had never heard of. So, I downloaded Vapor and discovered that SSHPassKey ships as a disk image on the Vapor disk image. That's cool -- that was why I wrote SSHPassKey in the first place. Vapor itself is incredibly useful! Vapor provides a tunnel between your machine and some remote box such that you can securely mount AppleShare, remotely administer OS X Server boxes, interact with a web server or otherwise securely communicate to some random port. It just works -- and it just works really well! Like SSHPassKey, Vapor is free! Neat hack. Now a standard part of my toolbox! 12:30:28 PM  pontificate
