Ssh connection generation tool

Belier allows automated openings of a shell or command executions on remote computers through ssh. The main feature is Belier’s ability to cross several computers before joining the final machine.

Usage

We’d like to open a shell on a remote machine through two mandatories intermediate servers. We first create an input file to prepare connection parameters :

user@localhost:~$ cat ordres
intermediaire1 admin azer0;lp!Z
admin@intermediaire2
admin@machine-finale root jkw!po12;

We generate the final script with Belier :

user@localhost:~$ bel --entree=ordres
user@localhost:~$ ls
user@localhost:~$ machine-finale.sh

Following next is the shell sequence used by Belier. Only the first command is executed by the user, the others are fully automated from the script generated by Belier :

user@localhost:~$ ./machine-finale.sh
spawn ssh intermediaire1
user@intermediaire1's password:
user@intermediaire1:~$ su - admin
Password:
admin@intermediaire1:~$ ssh admin@intermediaire2
admin@intermediaire2:~$ ssh admin@machine-finale
admin@machine-finale's password:
admin@machine-finale:~$ su - root
Password:
root@machine-finale:~#
