SSHPROXY_CONFIG
If non-null the full path to the configuration directory. Equivalent to the -c option.
sshproxyd8
Sshproxy daemon
Usage
sshproxyd [--config-dir
cfgdir]
Normal run
(in
the
foreground).
sshproxyd [--config-dir
cfgdir]
--daemon
[--user
user]
[--pid
pidfile]
Run daemonized
(in
the
background).
Overview
sshproxyd acts as an authenticating proxy gateway for SSH2 connections. It does not use ssh(1) nor sshd(8) but implements its own SSH2 stack with the paramiko library.
Options
-
--config-dir (-c) -
Specify a configuration directory where sshproxyd will find the main configuration file sshproxy.ini(5) and the private DSA private key id_dsa. Default value is ~/.sshproxy.
-
--daemon (-d) -
Run sshproxyd in daemon mode. In daemon mode, sshproxyd puts itself in the background and runs forever, waiting for incomming connections.
-
--user (-u) -
Run sshproxyd as user. This option is mandatory if sshproxyd is run as root.
-
--pid (-p) -
Record the process id of the daemon in the file pidfile. Default is /var/run/sshproxyd.pid.
Files
~/.sshproxy/sshproxy.ini
The main configuration file. See sshproxy.ini for further details.
~/.sshproxy/id_dsa
The private hostkey file. This hostkey is automatically generated by sshproxyd at startup if it doesn't exist.
/var/run/sshproxyd.pid
The pid file, mostly useful when sshproxyd is run with the -d option.
Environment
Diagnostics
Two debug logs are generated when sshproxyd is running:
~/.sshproxy/log/paramiko.log
This file contains paramiko's debug messages, relative to the SSH2 protocol.
~/.sshproxy/log/sshproxy.log
This file contains sshproxy's debug messages, relative to authentication, ACLs and proxying.
