[Bug 578733] Re: no way to change username for ssh tunneling
We need to add one more option: The remote host port number for the SSH connection. Reason: It's not good practice to expose an open Port 22 to the Internet; it attracts relentless break-in attempts from all over the world. I use a custom port number for SSH into my VNC server machine (stealthed and controlled by UFW FWKNOP in my case). My router port-forwards this port for incoming SSH, while blocking port 22 traffic. Port 22 use is then restricted to use only within my LAN (for convenience). In addition, since I have more than one VNC server to connect to, I use different ports to direct traffic to the intended machine on my LAN. Both of these needs prevent use of Port 22 for outside VNC tunneling. Using my custom ports works fine, is secure, does not draw break-in attempts, and allows me to pick choose which machine I connect to. The problem is, the Use host feature on 'vinagre' does not allow me to specify the port to direct my connection to, and it should. Note that Connect to server... in 'nautilus' *does* allow you to specify the port number -- and this application *is* compatible with the connection scheme I just mentioned. We need 'vinagre' to be equally compatible, so it needs similar features. In this day age, secure connections are not an option... and shouldn't be complicated to implement. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 Title: no way to change username for ssh tunneling -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 578733] Re: no way to change username for ssh tunneling
Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. - using sshis not a feature an average user uses, it is an advanced user scenario. Not a papercut. For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut. Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as Invalid only in the papercuts project. And marking vinagre task incomplete too. @ torzsmokus : Kindly answer to the question asked in comment #3 and then set the bug to status 'new' . ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: vinagre (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: vinagre (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Sorry, I didn't notice #3 was a question to me (and not to the devs). I don't fully understand what Kamus wants to know, but if I get it right, I suppose it's already answered in my first comment: there should be a separate field for remote username, maybe defaulting to the local one. -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 578733] Re: no way to change username for ssh tunneling
maybe that sounds confused, what I tried to explain you was if you want include a textbox (box) to fill username instead of pass something like usern...@your-host-here (same when you are using a SSH connection), isn't? -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, exactly, that's what I already suggested: a separate box (field) for remote username. ** Changed in: vinagre (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

shall we mark this issue as a requirement to include a box for put only a username right, in case you are using ssh tunnels of course? ** Changed in: vinagre (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 578733] Re: no way to change username for ssh tunneling
Agree, I got this wrong as well the first time. In my case, it didn't even show what the error was (not providing the xxx@ username) but a generic could not connect to SSH tunnel. When I provided u...@host instead of just the host it went fine. I vote for a separate remote user field or a GUI-based warning when trying to save settings without entering a username. -- no way to change username for ssh tunneling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 578733] Re: no way to change username for ssh tunneling
oh, I figured out (from the tooltip of the Host field) that I can enter [remoteu...@remote.host] but IMHO this is not intuitive enough. there should be a separate field for remote username, maybe defaulting to the local one. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: vinagre Intended action: connect to a firewalled machine using VNC with SSH tunneling Steps: 1., start Vinagre 2., Machine Connect 3., select Protocol: VNC, fill in Host 4., check Use host [remote.host] as a SSH tunnel 5., select Connect 6., a the dialog appears saying Host: [my current username on the local machi...@[remote.host] which is not the desired login ! 7., so I am asked to provide a password for a nonexistent user on the remote machine, which I obviously cannot do.
