Hi,
We are trying to setup Amanda for 1 client behind a firewall with Auth SSH for
the first time. The machines behind the firewall are all NATed. The firewall
will not allow us to port redirect port 22. As a result, all the machines behind
the firewall have non-standard SSH port numbers. For example, the machine we're
trying to backup with Amanda uses Port 1026. On the Amanda Server, as User
Amanda, we have create a /home/amanda/.ssh/config . This file contains the
following lines :
Host Name-of-Firewall
Port 1026
Using SSH from the command line,we are able to "ssh name-of-firewall", which
logs us onto the desired Amanda client (behind firewall). We have created the
appropriate keys and authorized_keys file to allow this login to not prompt for
a password. We've configured Amanda for Auth SSH as described in the Amanda
manual (Chapter 17).
Questions:
Does Auth SSH on Amanda honor the ~/.ssh/config file for Amanda on the Server?
yes
Is Amanda totally tunneled through the SSH tunnel?
yes
The host name in the Host line must be the exact name amanda use.
