5 monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand \- MonkeySphere ssh ProxyCommand script
9 \fBmonkeysphere-ssh-proxy\fP is an ssh proxy command that can be used
10 to trigger a monkeysphere update of the known_hosts file for the hosts
11 that are being connected to. It is meant to be run as an ssh
12 ProxyCommand. This can either be done by specifying the proxy command
15 .B ssh -o ProxyCommand="monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand %h %p" ...
17 or by adding the following line to your ~/.ssh/config script:
19 .B ProxyCommand monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand %h %p
21 The script can easily be incorporated into other ProxyCommand scripts
22 by calling it with the "--no-connect" option, ie:
24 .B monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand --no-connect "$HOST" "$PORT"
26 This will run everything but will not exec netcat to make the tcp
27 connection to the host.
29 .SH KEYSERVER CHECKING
31 The proxy command has a fairly nuanced policy for when keyservers are
32 queried when processing host. If the host userID is not found in
33 either the user's keyring or in the known_hosts file, then the
34 keyserver is queried for the host userID. If the host userID is found
35 in the user's keyring, then the keyserver is not checked. This is
36 because... If the host userID is not found in the user's keyring, but
37 the host is listed in the known_hosts file, then defered check is
40 .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
43 KEYSERVER The keyserver to query.
