Mailing List Archive: Conserver Digi32 via SSH

Hi Folks (and Bryan),

I am trying to set up conserver to use SSH to talk to the consoles I
have hung off of a Digi32....but I cannot seem to come up with the
correct syntax. The reason I want this is simply because we don't want
the unencrypted passwords floating around the network (between the
conserver box and the Digi).

I have the Digi set correctly, as I can "ssh -p 7002 digi" and I get the
console for the machine connected to port 2...but I cannot seem to come
up with the right conserver.cf config. :-(

I am sure there are others doing this...

So any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

hey emmett!

here's an idea, based on some stuff i put in
conserver.cf/samples/average.cf:

default digissh {
type exec; portbase 7000; portinc 1;
exec ssh -p P H;
execsubst H=hs,P=Pd;
}

default digi {
include digissh;
host digi;
}

console foo { include digi; port 2; }

personally, i'd fully qualify "digi". and there are other bits you'll
need to add (like "rw" and possibly "ro" options, the "master" option,
etc). check out the samples directory for more possibilities (and there
have been posts in the past with working configs for similar
situations - i believe).
