Tool of the week – sshconf
If you’re a sys admin, you’ve probably dealt with SSH related issues like allowing certain users, from specific IP addresses. Allowing SSH2 and disabling SSH1, setting session timeouts and etc. Sometimes it gets a bit messy dealing with the configuration file directly which is where sshconf comes along.
sshconf is a graphical frontend to manage ssh configurations for different hosts. It creates Host specifications for the user’ s configuration file in ~/.ssh/config.
Features
- add, edit or remove Host
- add, edit or remove LocalForward(s) or RemoteForward(s) for a Host
- open a Terminal with a connection to the Host
- quick access to hosts via SystemTray Icon
