I seem to have a weird issue:
I want to restart a reverse ssh tunnel on boot, I've tried it with an init script (that works fine when executed as user) and with an added line in /etc/rc.d but none of it works. What I get after boot is:



$ ps ax | grep autossh
397 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto autossh
1351 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/autossh/autossh -M 22221 -N -o PubkeyAuthentication=yes -o PasswordAuthentication=no -i ~/.ssh/etherwan.key -R 19999:localhost:22 ubuntu@server


but I'm unable to login from server. So I did the following after boot:



$ sudo killall -KILL autossh
[sudo] password for ron:
$ /usr/bin/autossh -M 22221 -f -N -o "PubkeyAuthentication=yes" -o "PasswordAuthentication=no" -i ~/.ssh/etherwan.key -R 19999:localhost:22 ubuntu@server


upon which I can login using port 19999 just fine!



The keys permissions look like: (but root should not need to care, would it?)



$ ls -l ~/.ssh/etherwan.key
-r-------- 1 ron ron 1675 Nov 6 04:15 /home/ron/.ssh/etherwan.key
