• added the -n and -N options to match the CN with an host name (thanks to Marcus Rejås for the patch)

At work we have serveral Unix accounts occasionally used by more than user. To allow each user to log in using a personlized shell we use the following shell function (simplified):

pssh() {
  host=$1
  scp -q ${HOME}/.dir_colors ${host}:.dir_colors.${USER}
  cp ${HOME}/.bashrc ${HOME}/.bashrc.${USER}
  echo 'eval $(dircolors ${HOME}/.dir_colors'.${USER}) >> ${HOME}/.bashrc.${USER}
  scp -q ${HOME}/.bashrc.${USER} ${host}:.bashrc.${USER}
  # log in and execute a shell with the special .bashrc file
  ssh -t $host "bash --rcfile ~/.bashrc.${USER}"
}

In this way everyone can use his own .bashrc and terminal colors without interfering with other users of the shared account
