Solved Looking for a SSH Manager

At work I manage 100+ Linux and Unix servers from my FreeBSD desktop.
It's a bit annoying manage them from the terminal without any decent manager...I have been looking for a while but found nothing for FreeBSD, other than creating buttloads of shortcuts to ease the pain a little.

I'm pretty much looking for something similar to Pac manager (can you make it work on FreeBSD?).

It should support saving password, key files, custom ports and all that.
I'm using mate desktop.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this time devouring habbit of entering bofh@unpronouncableservernames####.yada.corp 500 times a day? :)
Thanks
 
Not a manager, really, but in .ssh/config you can create a shortcut that allows you to ssh into that server by just ssh myserver or ssh myserver2

Code: 
Host myserver
HostName myserver.com
Port 2222
User me

Host myserver2
....

I second that! Besides OP should familiarize herself/himself with ssh-agent(1). Everything else is inventing hot water.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, So after a while solved this by doing the following:
  • Ditch mate-desktop for XFCE4
  • Create a file named Customer-server.ssh and the file contains this command: xfce4-terminal -x ssh bofh@servername.
  • Right click on the file and tell it always open then the .ssh file with "Terminal emulator".
  • Create a directory menu in the bottom toolbar of XFCE -> point to the directory containing the .ssh files.
  • Filter the directory menu to only show *.ssh files.

This is the light version the solves the immediate annoyance :)
