True, my bad. Obviously it worked just like I speculated.

(I remember reading the sentence with the HACKED file, but did not think much about it. When I was done with the article I wondered about the ssh public key thing, searched for "ssh" and for "key", and when none gave a hit I asked. Suitable intellectual performance for 9pm on the bus, hopefully it would have been better during the day ;)
