Users will be remotely accessing ***nix based machines via SSH and I need to determine the fastest way to check if the username that they are currently using has NOPASSWD access in the /etc/sudoers file. Possible options: grep for the username in /etc/sudoers, parse command prompt output to determine if it has NOPASSWD, if not, remove...
Ok, the setup is a bit convoluted. Don't blame me, I'm not the sysadmin. Here's the situation. There is one machine that I can SSH into from outside the network. I can only remote in as root (yes, you heard right) using my private key. I know that it is more typical to log in as a user and then elevate privileges, but in this case, I ha...
I'm running a number of ssh commands in a background. When the triggered-via-ssh command finishes to run, the appropriate background ssh process doesn't get terminated and its ps -l output shows 'finish' for WCHAN and T for 'state'. So why the triggering process is not terminated and what does it mean 'finish' value for WCHAN? Thanks a...
I am an Ubuntu Linux user. I am running jobs remotely and started a screen session. During this session I sourced a file containing a long list of command lines arguments to be executed. I was forced off of the connection and now the jobs are still running in this screen and I am unable to kill them. Does anyone know how to kill all ...

What's odd is that this ...
Hi, I wonder what is the best way to handle parallel SSH connections in python. I need to open several SSH connections to keep in background and to feed commands in interactive or timed batch way.

Hi, I am trying to execute a command remotely over ssh, example: ssh <user>@<host> <command> The command which needs to be executed is an alias, which is defined in .bashrc, e.g. alias ll='ls -al' So what in the end the following command should get executed: ssh user@host "ll" I already found out that .bashrc only gets sourced w...
I am looking for a C library that implements the server end of ssh. In particular, I am only interested in the subset that provides port forwarding. The ones that I have found so far (libssh2, NetSieben etc) seem to implement just the client. ...
I'm frequently sshing into a server, switching to a specific directory and running svn-update I'm thinking that there's probably a very easy way to automate this, so I can simple specific a subdirectory when I run the script and it'll login via SSH, cd to the right directory and run svn-update. Is this a job for capistrano or could a s...
I have to build an vsftpd compatible ftp client. I am not sure about which protocol vsftpd follows, sftp or ftps, I am guessing sftp as i could connect some vsftpd client with port 21(ftp) and 22(sftp) but not 990(ftps). Now I have to communicate with vsftpd compatible ftp server using C#.NET. Can somebody help me find out some good ope...
Hi folks, we're currently investigating SVN at work - having escalated our practices to include a fair bit of development. I have to confess, we're finding the remote setup process rather tricky, none of our team is that conversant with Linux/SSH. My question is, how many of you you administer your own remote SVN repository versus using...
Hi I am having terrible time getting files that reside on C:/ drive on remote computer. I can clone projects if they are under Cygwin installation folder. But I cannot get anything going with my real projects if they reside in something like "/cygdrive/c/myproject/git/export"? So I cannot get anything from the line below "ssh://user@...
I currently use MacVim for a lot of my editor needs but occasionally I need to edit files remotely over ssh. In MacVim the shape of the cursor varies depending on your current mode, i.e. command mode -> block cursor, insert mode -> vertical bar cursor, which I find very helpful. Is there a way to replicate this behavior in a .vimrc fil...

Hi all, I am trying to get supported auth methods from a running SSH server in Python. I found this method in the ServerInterface class in Paramiko but I can't understand if it is usable in a simple client-like snippet of code (I am writing something that accomplish in ONLY this task). Anyone can suggest me some links with examples, ot...
