Ssh – Automate ssh serial-over-LAN connection to SuperMicro IPMI via Putty

ipmiputtysshsupermicro

I recently found instructions on how to take advantage of the SuperMicro's serial-over-LAN remote console via SSH. The challenge is after the SSH login a few commands must be executed to start the remote console. As I cannot make any changes in the BMC or create a server-side script – I need to execute the commands manually.

The commands required, after login, are:

cd system1/sol1
start

So…is there a way this can be automated via Putty or Plink?

It seems that you want to enter the following in the PuTTY session properties, Configuration > SSH > Remote Command:

cd system/sol1 && start && /bin/bash

(or substitute your favorite shell or command at the end).

Windows – Setting up Git over SSH on Windows using a non-standard port

I have a similar workflow but use gitosis to manage the repo on my VPS.

I use the msysgit bash with the windows path and plink as you suggest above but in addition I use pagent to manage the SSH key.

To access my repos this is the order I take,

Open Pagent and access my key (you only enter the passphrase here once if you have one and even if you do it remembers it for the whole session).
Then open Git bash and add/commit/push/pull/clone as normal.

One caveat I will note is that I had to convert the key I created with the Git bash using Putty Gen (available on the same link above) so that Pagent could use it.

Windows – Is the password compromised because I forgot to hit Enter after ssh username

In short: yes.

# ssh 192.168.1.1 -l "myuser mypassword"
^C
# egrep "mypassword" /var/log/auth.log
Oct 19 14:33:58 host sshd[19787]: Invalid user myuser mypassword from 192.168.111.78
Oct 19 14:33:58 host sshd[19787]: Failed none for invalid user myuser mypassword from 192.168.111.78 port 53030 ssh2
