And there are worked examples in my series of posts on using sshd.

Although I did not provide worked examples of using hardcoded commands inside of the remote key record.

I had to leave a small reason to answer: RTFM from time-to-time.

I totally agree... Of course that presumes that the "end user" is savvy enough to set it up heh.

That said, fortunately I suck at tcl so bad that this monstrosity will never happen... well, not by my hand

CONCEPT: Debian loop mounts eat away at the read/write cycle lifetime of the kindles storage.

Connecting to a debian.ext3 image remotely and devving on that.

Gonna have a go at that now.

Why not.

So far, so good... Tricked everyone into playing nicely, tried to handle the whole OpenSSL mess nicely on the K4/K5, hacked around the config paths to make it all neat in /mnt/us/usbnet/etc, and it seems to be working, yay \o/.

Look for the full OpenSSH suite (yes, that means ssh-agent \o/), & sshfs in the next USBNetwork release... :}.
