    AutoSSH help required

    Hi peeps I need some help with setting up AutoSSH. I've been trying to follow guides I find online, but I'm getting confused as we use dropbear and I can't get my keys pairs working properly. I have working keys that I use with Putty and all works grand in that regard. Just need help setting up autossh to connect to ubuntu server.

    Any wizards out there?

    I want my E2 to auto login to my Ubuntu server on other network so that I don't have to open ports in firewall for remote access to E2 using my server.

    First things first.
    Can you ssh (using a certificate) from the box to the Ubuntu system.

    To do this you'll need to:

    • Get a key-pair for ssh.
    • Add the public key to .ssh/authorized_keys for the account on the Ubuntu server that you wish to use. (If that account already has a key-pair, just use that).
    • Copy the private key to the box.
    • Create a .ssh directory in root's HOME.
    • Run this command:
      Code:
      dropbearconvert openssh dropbear <path-to-private-key> ~root/.ssh/id_dropbear

    You should now be able to ssh from the box to the Ubuntu server without giving a password (something AutoSSH requires).
