remember key passphrase

ssh-agent bash
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

root access from single host

Match Address 192.168.1.100
       PermitRootLogin yes

multihop tunnel

ssh -A -t -l user jump-host \
-L 8080:localhost:8080 \
ssh -A -t -l user webserver.dmz \
-L 8080:localhost:8080

OR in .ssh/config define

Host targethost
ProxyCommand ssh jumphost -W %h:%p

and then just

ssh -L 1234:<LAN address>:<port> targethost

chrooted sftp

Homedir as defined in /etc/passwd /home/someuser

chmod 755 /home/someuser
chown root.root /home/someuser

And then create writable dir for user:

mkdir /home/someuser/downloads
chown someuser.someuser /home/someuser/downloads

 

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

Per group:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

 Match Group sftponly
   ChrootDirectory %h
   ForceCommand internal-sftp
   AllowTcpForwarding no
   PermitTunnel no
   X11Forwarding no

 #Remember this one to close Match block!
 Match all

Per user:

 Match User username
   ChrootDirectory %h
   ForceCommand internal-sftp
   AllowTcpForwarding no
   PermitTunnel no
   X11Forwarding no
 #Remember this one to close Match block!
 Match all

The ChrootDirectory must be owned by root.root with permissons 755. If you want group based access rights, you can do that in subdirectories.

 

ssh tunnel

ssh -L 1234:192.168.100.2:80 remotehost

And then connect to localhost:1234

 

bind Cannot assign requested address

Maybe try ssh -4

Unable to negotiate with 192.168.100.4 port 22: no matching cipher found.

passing old cipher, like -o arcfour??

scp: no matching key exchange method found.

scp seems to ignore .ssh/config, so use

scp -o Ciphers=xxx

 

kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer

only way to find out about that is look on server

Reverse tunnel with autossh

autossh -M 0 -o "ServerAliveInterval 30" -o "ServerAliveCountMax 3" -fgNR :10023:localhost:22 the.server

And in the.server:/etc/ssh/sshd_config

GatewayPorts clientspecified

to allow connecting to 10023 from outside
