I have Taylor UUCP running over an ssh tunnel. It seems to work fine,
except that I am having trouble with the system services-a lot of
different things use UUCP, ie., out of cron, the users, the mail
system, etc.
The trouble is that ssh uses the ~/.ssh/identity of whoever launched
uucico.
Is there a way of using the ~/.ssh/identity for the ssh tunnel of a
specific, special, user, no matter what user is using uucico?
Thanks,
John
BTW, I understand what I am asking-its a bit of a security cheat; but
I do not want everyone to use null pass phrases, which does
work. Another alternative is to use ssh-agent/ssh-add for EVERY user,
including all system services, GID/UID, etc. The problem is that ssh
is called out of UUCP configuration files to establish the connection,
which then uses the ~/.ssh/identity of the user that invoked uucico,
which could be any of a number of system services, or users. I realize
that I am asking ssh to do something it was not intended to do ...
