To still be able to execute commands as ##autotunnel## we have to specify a shell to execute, i.e. ##/bin/bash##. This enables us to generate the keys and copy them to the middleman server ##dashy##. The ##ssh-copy-id## command copies the most recent ##id_*.pub## file. As of recent the ##ed25519## is considered safest (and quick). **NB:** the ##autotunnel## account password needs to be known (temporarily set) see step 2. **NB:** The last command of step 2 can only be executed when step 2 below has been completed!
