RE: [Bigsister-general] SSH Tunnel Problem

["Herchi Silviu" <suppressed>]

Hi,

You should replace 'localhost' by 127.0.0.1 in the line
localhost port=10984 bsdisplay
in uxmon-net

I once noticed that the agent doesn't use 127.0.0.1 when instructed to
use "localhost"; it takes the "official" LAN address instead, whereas
the SSH tunnel is listening on the 127.0.0.1 interface.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Silviu

Subject: [Bigsister-general] SSH Tunnel Problem

In order to get connect to our display server without having to punch
holes though the firewall, we need to do SSH Tunnels on a few of our
servers.
Currently, I beleive we have the SSH tunnel setup correctly, however the
Big Sister agent doesn't seem to reporting to the display.
 
On the agent, in /etc/rc.local we have:
# Start up Big Sister SSH Tunnel
su bigsis -c 'nohup ssh -L 10984:displayserver:1984 -N displayserver &'
 
We also have the proper SSH keys so that the user bigsis can
authenticate to the displayserver without a passphrase.
 
Now, I have tested this on the agent host by running:
telnet localhost 10984
status agent.test green
END
 
Appears to work.
 
So, I have the line in /etc/bigsister/uxmon-net:
localhost port=10984 bsdisplay
 
Then I start up the big sister agent. One problem, the big sister agent
never seems like it reports to the display server. I can still test and
make sure the tunnel is running manually via telnet, however, the agent
just doesn't seem to do anything.
 
What seems to be missing?
