VyOS Troubles

VyOS appears to be a Debian-based system, running a shell that wraps around bash, making it a bit too familiar for comfort. By that, I mean that I am so used to doing things on Debian and Debian-based systems that I slip into habits that don't necessarily carry over.

Example: clear

I am in the habit of clearing the terminal window/console obsessively, but VyOS does not have the same clear command that I typically see - I need to run clear console instead of just clear.

Example: ssh

I am so used to using ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id, but VyOS has its own way of doing things. That said, the way I'm used to doing things still worked.

On the topic of SSH,

SSH

I am so used to using ssh key-based authentication that I created an SSH key before the lab instructions called for it. This became a problem when I had to show that failed SSH password authentication showed up on the log server. When trying to address this, I accidentally deleted the SSH key I'd generated, and had to generate a new one. Whoops.
