ssh-menu

Just a quick and dirty login wrapper for an SSH gateway server

Features

• Written entirely in Curses::UI / Perl
• Fast, secure, and light-weight
• Mouse support
• Fuzzyfinder search supported (requires fzf)
• Works in any terminal down to 80x25 (or smaller with help file disabled)
• Fully configurable – see lines 10-20 for available options

Installation instructions

1. Run sudo apt install libcurses-ui-perl fzf to get the necessary dependencies.
2. Create a login user, and add your SSH pubkey to their authorized_keys. Make sure you can login.
3. Copy/clone the contents of bin/ to /usr/local/bin/.
4. Edit /etc/passwd and set the login shell of the login user to /usr/local/bin/ssh-user-shell.sh
5. Before logging out, open a new ssh session and test the new user. The new user should be able to access a help screen by pressing [h].
6. Done!
