issue with restarting autossh reverse tunnel on boot
I seem to have a weird issue:
I want to restart a reverse ssh tunnel on boot, I've tried it with an init script (that works fine when executed as user) and with an added line in /etc/rc.d but none of it works. What I get after boot is:
$ ps ax | grep autossh
397 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto autossh
1351 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/autossh/autossh -M 22221 -N -o PubkeyAuthentication=yes -o PasswordAuthentication=no -i ~/.ssh/etherwan.key -R 19999:localhost:22 ubuntu@server
but I'm unable to login from server. So I did the following after boot:
$ sudo killall -KILL autossh
[sudo] password for ron:
$ /usr/bin/autossh -M 22221 -f -N -o "PubkeyAuthentication=yes" -o "PasswordAuthentication=no" -i ~/.ssh/etherwan.key -R 19999:localhost:22 ubuntu@server
upon which I can login using port 19999 just fine!
The keys permissions look like: (but root should not need to care, would it?)
$ ls -l ~/.ssh/etherwan.key
-r-------- 1 ron ron 1675 Nov 6 04:15 /home/ron/.ssh/etherwan.key
linux boot ssh-tunnel autossh rc.d

Replace ~/.ssh/etherwan.key in your rc.d script with /home/ron/.ssh/etherwan.key
The '~' character is expanded to the user's home directory by the shell, but rc.d scripts are run as root.

Replace ~/.ssh/etherwan.key in your rc.d script with /home/ron/.ssh/etherwan.key
The '~' character is expanded to the user's home directory by the shell, but rc.d scripts are run as root.
