Hi All
This is an invitation for comments:
I need to execute programs remotely on my ltsp clients, eg:
open cash drawer
display on customer-display
port-forward tty ports
etc etc
Solution 1: I have written a daemon that accepts remote commands
no security
maintenance issues (but it's very simple TCP)
Solution 2: ssh
the contrib ssh is not of value (need to run sshd on the client)
I need to add zlib stuff to the ltsp_buildenv (I'm looking at 4.0)
to compile sshd.
Either .rhosts or shared keys, but this is still a pain to
manage. (Security is not an issue - clients are ReadOnly and
all sensitive traffic is encrypted anyway eg EFT-bank transactions.
But this seems to be a 'nice' 'general' solution.
Solution 3: rsh
I've had problems with rsh, never stopped to solve them, but some
transactions take an unreasonably long time (10's of secs) then all
is well again.
I'd like to contrib my solution back to LTSP (many requests "How to forward
client-tty to the server") and would like a general, useful solution for me.
Thanks
James
