SSH provides wounder facility to run linux command on remote machine, provided that you have SSH access to that machine…
- We can use this feature of SSH for troubleshooting purpose… for example suppose there is “logout” command in your “.bashrc” file of remote user. In this case you will not get ssh access until you remove this “logout” command from “.bashrc” file of remote user. This can be done remotely by using SSH..
1] I am login on machine ‘IndianGNU.org’ and trying to login to ’192.168.0.1′ ie ‘Remote’ machine.. but it immediately logout. see below….
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul# ssh arun.bagul@192.168.0.1
arun.bagul@192.168.0.1′s password:
Last login: Sun Jan 20 18:49:29 2008 from 192.168.0.5
Connection to 192.168.0.1 closed.
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul#
2] This is happening because there is ‘logout’ command added in ‘.bashrc’ file of arun.bagul‘s profile on ’192.168.0.1′
3] How to check this ‘.bashrc’ file on ’192.168.0.1′ -
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul# ssh arun.bagul@192.168.0.1 ‘tail /home/arun.bagul/.bashrc’
arun.bagul@192.168.0.1′s password:
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
######
## ‘logout’ command which will terminate your session just after login.
#You will not get any access via SSH
logout
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul#
4] How to remove this ‘logout’ command from remote file by ssh -
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul# ssh arun.bagul@192.168.0.1 ‘sed -i “s/logout/#welcome/g” /home/arun.bagul/.bashrc’
arun.bagul@192.168.0.1′s password:
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul#
5] Check now -
root@IndianGNU.org:/# ssh arun.bagul@192.168.0.1 ‘tail /home/arun.bagul/.bashrc’
arun.bagul@192.168.0.1′s password:
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
######
## ‘#welcome’ command which will terminate your session just after #login.
#You will not get any access via SSH
#welcome
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul#
6] Now try to login on 192.168.0.1′ with user name ‘arun.bagul’ -
root@IndianGNU.org:/home/arun.bagul# ssh arun.bagul@192.168.0.1
arun.bagul@192.168.0.1′s password:
