SSH Tunneling with Panther Server
Hey, other stuff aside, this hint is worth it just for the link to "SSH Tunnel Manager". One question, you say you set it up to automate the tunnel - do you use passwords with your ssh, and if so - can you store them in the keychain or something to automate?

check out SSHKeychain.... I just started using it. Seems pretty good. It's a GUI to ssh-agent that stores you ssh pass phrase in the keychain.

I might be doing something wrong.... I set up the tunnel in SSHKeychain. It connects fine, only it pops up a window asking me for the password (the ssh password for the tunnel). Any time I connect to the tunnel it pops up the dialog asking me for the password.
In the SSHKeychain FAQ it says I should check the "store password in keychain" check box, but there is no such checkbox when it is asking me for the password... Am I missing something obvious? Other than that the tunnel works fine... Just won't store the ssh password in my keychain.

As the other poster stated, you could use something like the SSHKeyChain app. However, I have public-private key pairs set up without passphrases. Yes, I realize this is less secure if someone were to steal my laptop. Of course, the moment I noticed my laptop was missing, I'd be deleting those private keys on my server.

Yeah I used to simply use key pairs w/ no pass phrases... I couldn't get myself to figure out ssh-agent. Plus without passphrases, it was just plain easy to connect. |
