DESCRIPTION

FILEFORMAT

Between the OPTION, the = and the VALUE are no spaces.

Rows starting with a # are considered as comments.

You should not comment out any OPTION If you like to use default settings simply do not specify a VALUE.

OPTIONS

LOG

Log output dir of ssh-exec. If you specify a relative path name the path is relative to the root of the WA2L/edrc installation.

Example: LOG=/var/opt/edrc/log

Default: LOG=var/log

EDRC_USER

The home of this user is considered as the root of the WA2L/edrc installation. See edrcsetup(1m) for information about user settings needed by WA2L/edrc.

Example: EDRC_USER=edrc

Default: EDRC_USER=edrc

START_USER

User that is allowed to start ssh-exec.

This setting is of relevance if the user-id of the starting user is different from the local user used (-l localuser option) to connect to the remote system.

Example: START_USER=eroot

Default: START_USER=root

CONNECTION_TIMEOUT

ssh connection timeout in seconds.

Specifies the timeout (in seconds) used when connecting to the SSH server, instead of using the default system TCP timeout.

This value is used only when the target is down or really unreachable, not when it refuses the connection.

Example: CONNECTION_TIMEOUT=2

Default: CONNECTION_TIMEOUT=4

PROBE_COMMAND

Command to invoke on the remote system to probe a ssh connection with the given remote user.

The chosen command must be available on all target systems.

If it is needed to set the PROBE_COMMAND dynamically the environment variables $REMOTEUSER and/or $TARGET can be used to do so.

The $REMOTEUSER variable contains the user name as given on the command line in lower case; the $TARGET variable contains the target system as given on the command line also in lower case.

Example:
          case $TARGET in
              acme007)   PROBE_COMMAND="uname -n" ;;
              alpha60)   PROBE_COMMAND="sysname"  ;;
              joshua)    PROBE_COMMAND="identity" ;;
              hal9000)   PROBE_COMMAND="avatar"   ;;
              bomb20)    PROBE_COMMAND="WHO"      ;;
              *)         PROBE_COMMAND="hostname" ;;
          esac

Example: PROBE_COMMAND=hostname

Default: PROBE_COMMAND=hostname
