#. Wraps the pipe ends in an ``io.ReadWriteCloser`` and uses it for RPC.
As discussed in the section above, the connecting zrepl daemon expects that ``zrepl stdinserver $client_identity`` is executed automatically via an ``authorized_keys`` file entry.
The ``known_hosts`` file used by the ssh command must contain an entry for the serving host, e.g., ``app-srv.example.com`` in the example above.
.. NOTE::
The environment variables of the underlying SSH process are cleared. ``$SSH_AUTH_SOCK`` will not be available.

Note that most use cases do not benefit from separate keypairs per remote endpoint.
Thus, it is sufficient to create one keypair and use it for all ``connect`` directives on one host.
zrepl uses ssh's default ``known_hosts`` file, which must contain a host identification entry for ``app-srv.example.com``.
If that entry does not already exist, we need to generate it.
Run the following command, compare the host fingerprints, and confirm with yes if they match.
You will not be able to get a shell with the identity file we just generated, which is fine. ::
ssh -i /etc/zrepl/ssh/identity root@app-srv.example.com
