if i understood the problem corectly, i think SSH config file is made for that. you can give entries to machines with users you want to use and what auth to use and so on: Host dev HostName dev.example.com Port 22000 User fooey

"ssh dev" is enough to type then. look it up there are many guides online.

Turns out after it's setup you can just 'ssh TAB TAB' and get a list of connections. Don't even have to remember the names. Thank you again.

Not small for me. I'm forever ssh'ing in to misc machines. The repetition this saves is excellent
