SSHReplicator is a bash script for automatic creation of ssh based port forwarding.
The SSHReplicator client part is composed of some common files that are unmodified ad a startup script that can be copied and edited for build more port forwarding between different computers.
The files are:
| /etc/init.d/tunneling1 | Start script where there are all configurable parameters. |
| /etc/tunneling/keyok | SSH private without password |
| /sbin/tunneling/tunnel | Common script part. |
| /var/log/tunnelingX | Serever connection log, differentiates between tunnels, to X is sobstituted the tunnel id, auto generated. |
| /sbin/tunneling/tunnelX | Symbolic link to the file /sbin/tunneling/tunnel to X is sobstituted tunnel id, auto generated. |
| /sbin/tunneling/miasshX | Symbolic link to the ssh command, X is sobstituted with tunnel id. |
For build more port fowarding it's sufficient copy the file /etc/init.d/tunneling1 to /etc/init.d/tunneling2, then modify the TUNNELID to 2, it must be diffrent between al tunnesl on the same client, and modify also REMOTEHOST, LOGINNAME and the TUNNELOPTIONS parameters.
The start the client use the command "/etc/init.d/tunnelingX start", to stop it "/etc/init.d/tunnelingX stop", to X you must substitute the tunnel id.
On the server must be copied tge file tunnelcommand.sh common to all clients, and add to the authorized_keys file, in the users home used for tunneks, the publics keys allowed to connect it.
The server record different connections log, that in log name have the tcp/ip and the tunnel id.
| ~/tunnelcommand.sh | Script that make some minimum traffic avoid connection fall. |
| ~/tunnelogX_Y.log | Connection log, one for each tunnel, to X is sobstitute the tunnel id, to Y the tcp/ip of the client. |
| ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | Public keys rpository for authorized clients. |
