Opening many tunnels typing the password only once (all accounts in gateways have the same pass)
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite 1 I want to open many tunnels at once, they all have the same long password. With -f , i.e., ssh -fN -p 22 usr1@gate1 -L 10001:ip1:22 ssh -fN -p 22 usr2@gate2 -L 10002:ip2:22 ... ssh -fN -p 22 usrn@gaten -L 1000n:ipn:22 I can open the tunnels in background, which allows me to run them all together and then just type consecutively the password as many times as the number of tunnels I am opening ( n ). Given that what I type is the same, I would like to find a way to type it just once, but still do it in a secure way. ssh ssh-tunneling openssh share | improve this question asked Jun 25 at 10:43 myradio 188 5 4 use password less ogin with key, then have a look at ssh-agent . or use sshpass – Archemar Jun 25 at 11:17 Set up public/private key based login. – ctrl-alt-delor Jun 25 at 13:06 @Archemar I want to put the password explicitly, but only once
