ssh tips

most of our servers have timeout for ssh connections or probably the routers or firewalls configured to cut the connections if no data is transferred in either direction after a certain time interval, basically by the time i came back from lunch, all ssh connections will be disconnected. sucks right?

there are 2 ways to prevent this to happen. either do it from the servers or clients side.

1st way: reconfigure sshd on the servers like this:
edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config put ClientAliveInterval 60
and don’t forget to restart sshd on the server;)

2nd way: if you have a bunch lot of servers, i bet you don't want to edit all the servers configs. the easier way is to configure on the client end.

- if your're using linux desktop edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and add the line:
ServerAliveInterval 60

- if you're using putty - under Connection, put non-zero value for:
Seconds between keepalives (0 to turn off). eg. 60

- if you're using cygwin edit ~/.ssh/config and add these lines:
Host *
TCPKeepAlive no
ServerAliveInterval 60

or u just can put below options when execute ssh command:
$ ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=60 servername

so now i can have a longer lunch break huhuhuhuu ;)

oh btw, i've dumped putty + PuTTY Connection Manager, now using cygwin + puttycyg.
with puttycyg, at least u're not stuck with the crap "cmd.exe" windows that comes with cygwin, unless u install Cygwin/X lor. betul dak jep?


1 more thing, ssh to outside world is block from within our company network. here is the trick - reconfigure your sshd to run on port 443. on cygwin install corkscrew, then put these in the ~/.ssh/config
Host outside_server
ProxyCommand corkscrew your_company_proxy_ip 8080 %h 443

$ ssh outside_server
Password:
walla you're now on outside world!

again, if u're using putty - under Connection - Proxy. oh thanks to apai!

blackberry as modem

all this while i never bothered to configure my blackberry to be a modem. probably the reason was my laptop is company property, malas la nak godek barang orang ni. plus legal admin right pun takde for the laptop (illegal or backdoor ade la hehehehe sssyhhhhhh)

but since we bought our new Lenovo netbook, semangat la sket nak menggodek. here are the steps how to turn your blackberry to be a modem. mine is Curve 8310.

1. install BlackBerry Desktop Manager. download here.

- once installed, connect your berry to your laptop & launch the apps. make sure the status "Connected" like pic above.

2. go to Control Panel -> Phone and Modem Options. select Modem -> Standard Modem. click on Properties. click on Diagnostics -> Query Modem
- there should be some messages "BlackBerry IP Modem, Research In Motion bla bla bla..."


then click on Advanced, u can see there is a column "Extra initialization command"
put this line into that column:
- for MAXIS = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","net"
- for CELCOM = at+cgdcont=1,”ip”,”celcom3g”

then go to Control Panel -> Network Connections (we need to create new connection for this modem)
- select Create a new connections -> Next -> select Connect to the internet -> Next -> select Set up my connection manually -> select Connect using a dial up modem -> (if you have more than 1 modem, select the modem we configured just now)
- give the ISP Name eg. berry maxis
- in Phone number, put *99#

User name & Password:
for MAXIS put User name = maxis & Password = wap
for CELCOM = no need to key in any information, leave it blank.

once finished, double click the shortcut & Dial

if everything is OK, you are now connected ;)

the speed, hmmm not so bad & quite resonable la for surfing purpose. at least if desperate nak pakai internet & no reachable free wifi, boleh la pakai ni...
