<vagrantc>
alkisg: haven't gotten to ltsp and epoptes in debian yet, but ... hoping for this weekend!
08:25
<alkisg>
vagrantc: thanks! No hurry at all, as long as it makes it for bullseye
08:25
<vagrantc>
the ssh-copy-id proposal is somewhat terrifying, though ...
08:25
<alkisg>
Why?
08:26
<vagrantc>
the idea of messing around with user's ssh authentication keys...
08:26
and should still have plenty of time for bullseye
08:26
<alkisg>
LTSP5 had an sshfs control socket; this gave sshfs access to root, but it couldn't do sshfs reconnections,
08:26
<vagrantc>
right
08:27
<alkisg>
Having a single ltsp key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys allows reconnections too
08:27
<vagrantc>
sure, that part is nice. :)
08:27
<alkisg>
We can remove duplicates etc after logon, as we'll have access to ~/.ssh
08:28
We'll also want to maintain a ~/.cache/ltsp dir with recent connection information
08:28
<vagrantc>
and you're generating throwaway keys on the machine ?
08:29
<alkisg>
Yes, assuming the idea works of course
08:29
E.g. pamltsp will see that user U tries to login,
08:29
and it hasn't generated an ssh key for him yet, so it creates one and puts it e.g. in /run/ltsp/some-private-dir,
08:30
then it uses ssh-copy-id for authentication; if it succeeds, we can reuse it for additional mounts and even reconnections,
08:30
and we can remove it when the user logs out
08:31
Sure, if one gets root on the client he also gets access to the user home dir, but that happens anyway, he has access to /home/user/.ssh
08:33
vagrantc: it might also be possible to modify the server's sshd_config to search for authorized_keys in some private ltsp directory on the server
08:34
That way we won't modify the user's ~/.ssh, but we'll need to add a configuration file to the server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d dir...
08:34
<vagrantc>
yes, but not sure it's possible for ssh-copy-id to put those there
08:35
but that sort of thing is definitely possible
08:35
<alkisg>
Indeed. And, a really really different approach, is that since ltsp will get an https server anyway, authentication and sshfs keys management can happen over that, completely ignoring ssh-copy-id
08:36
I.e. pamltsp will still send the user password over https, along with a temporary sshfs key, and if it's accepted, our https server can store it wherever needed
08:36
It's not for now, I just wanted to file that issue in order to politely turn down the pull request, as it was going the wrong way
08:37
<vagrantc>
right
08:37
anyways, going to try to get some sleep so i have time to work on ltsp :)
08:37* vagrantc waves
08:37
<alkisg>
Ciao!
