SSH Fails to Connect

Symptom

sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA

Solution, make sure your ~/.ssh/id_rsa has the proper permissions, it should be read/write for the owner and none for anyone else.

Mac Chrome Fresh

Create a bash file, something like "chrome-fresh.sh" with the following, it will randomize a file for a new user profile in your temp folder

#!/bin/bash
tfile=$(mktemp /tmp/chrome.XXXXXXXXX)
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/$tfile

Or Launch a Single browser, delete the temp folder when you want a fresh one.

cd /tmp
rm -rf james_bonds_browser
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir="/tmp/james_bonds_browser"

If you launch a chrome fresh grab yourself some plug-ins if you need them.
