This isn't a huge priority (it's not hard to disable the monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand before running cssh), however, it would be nice to figure out why it's not working. + +--- + +What do you mean by "produced some private data" when you set the log +level to DEBUG? Monkeysphere does not output any "private" data in +the sense of private keys or passwords or anything like that. Maybe +you mean the cssh debug mode outputs private data? or do you just +mean "info that you don't want to post here"? It might be useful to +see some output, so maybe you could just block out the nasty bits? +But I'm not sure it will help. + +The problem may be due to the locking of the known\_hosts file while +the proxycommand is running. At the moment, the +monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand can only be run serially, since each +invocation will lock the known\_hosts file while it updates it. I +think this is required, since we obviously can't have two invocations +modifying the file at the same time. However, it's probably possible +to decrease the amount of time it takes to update the file. It's not +done very efficiently at the moment. The file is locked basically at +the very begining, and is locked while all gpg interactions are done, +which are slow. I think it should be possible to take the gpg +interactions out of the loop. + +I just tried cssh and it doesn't seem to work very well with my ssh +setup at all. For instance, the simultaneous ssh connections cause +simultaneous calls to the agent to get my permission to use the key, +which don't interact very well with each other. This of course is not +a monkeysphere problem but a general problem with trying to make +simultaneous ssh connections with an agent that want key use +confirmation. + +-- jrollins |
