Full Discussion: Ssh freezes when run using different user ID
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Ssh freezes when run using different user ID Post 303028871 by Neo on Wednesday 16th of January 2019 10:04:40 PM

It is simply amazing to me why people love to build complicated, buggy, difficult to mantain, insecure solutions to problems which can be solved with simple, easy to maintain, more secure solutions.

Why?
  • Job security?
  • Having fun learning on the job getting paid by others?
I can assure you that if these guys were the owners of this IT and they were not getting paid to implement these overtly complex, buggy, hard to maintain, insecure solutions they would NOT do it.

Honestly, I keep seeing this more and more, especially from "certain countries" where the guys just seem to want to implement these overly complex, buggy, hard to maintain, and less secure solutions when, if they would just listen to us (people with many, many decades of coding and day to day sys admin experience, who likes simple, secure, easy to maintain, not buggy solutions), then their IT life would be a lot easier (and the questions here would be more practical).

I repeat....

Do not user sshpass. Use shared public-keys without passwords. It is more secure, less complex, easier to maintain and less buggy. I know. I do this every day on real systems!

Keep it simple!

moon-buggy

moon-buggy(6)							   Games Manual 						     moon-buggy(6)

NAME

       moon-buggy - drive some car across the moon

SYNOPSIS

       moon-buggy [-hnsV] [--help] [--no-title] [--show-scores] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

       Moon-buggy  is  a simple character graphics game, where you drive some kind of car across the moon's surface.  Unfortunately there are dan-
       gerous craters there.  Fortunately your car can jump over them!

OPTIONS

       The program understands the following command line options.

       -h, --help
	      shows a short usage message.

       -m, --mesg
	      disable write access to your terminal by other users, so your boss can't disturb your game play with the help of	"write"  or  "fin-
	      ger".

       -n, --no-title
	      skips the title screen.

       -s, --show-scores
	      shows the current highscore list and exits.

       -V, --version
	      prints the program's version to standard output and exits.

KEYS

       The  moon-buggy	is  controlled	by  a couple of keys, which are described near the bottom of the screen.  Most important are the following
       keys.

       SPC, j makes your car jump.  The length of a jump is fixed and you can only start a new jump, while the wheels have contact to the ground.

       a, l   fires the mining laser.  The laser is used to remove stones, which may block your way.

       q      quits the game prematurely.  But you still keep your score and may enter the highscore list.

FILES

       The following files on your system are related to moon-buggy.

       /usr/games/moon-buggy
	      the moon-buggy executable.

       /var/games/moon-buggy/mbscore
	      the global score file

       $HOME/.mbscore
	      the local score file.  This is used, if moon-buggy has no write access to the global score file.
