Description
Remote command execution via a cryptographically strong
method such as lsh or ssh is often painfully slow, especially if either of
the involved computers is slow. The biggest problem is that the client and
the server perform a lot of complex calculations during connection
establishment.
fsh uses lsh or ssh to establish a secure tunnel to the remote system.
This takes as long as a normal connection establishment, but once the
tunnel is established, fsh can reuse it to start new sessions on the
remote system almost instantaneously. You get the security of ssh and the
speed of rsh.
Note: to get this working on CSE hosts, you will need to make sure that
/home/stulocal/bin is in your PATH for an ssh command, which it
isn't by default. The best way I've found to do this is put something like:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/stulocal/bin
into your ~/.ssh/environment file.
