Hi, We are trying to setup Amanda for 1 client behind a firewall with Auth SSH for the first time. The machines behind the firewall are all NATed. The firewall will not allow us to port redirect port 22. As a result, all the machines behind the firewall have non-standard SSH port numbers. For example, the machine we're trying to backup with Amanda uses Port 1026. On the Amanda Server, as User Amanda, we have create a /home/amanda/.ssh/config . This file contains the following lines :
Host Name-of-Firewall Port 1026 Using SSH from the command line,we are able to "ssh name-of-firewall", which logs us onto the desired Amanda client (behind firewall). We have created the appropriate keys and authorized_keys file to allow this login to not prompt for a password. We've configured Amanda for Auth SSH as described in the Amanda manual (Chapter 17). Questions: Does Auth SSH on Amanda honor the ~/.ssh/config file for Amanda on the Server? Is Amanda totally tunneled through the SSH tunnel? If the answer to question 1 is 'no' then how can we config Amanda to use auth SSH to use a non-standard SSH port?
