NAME

amigassh

SSH2 for the Amiga, 68000+. Needs a server that supports the used crypto stuff.

It will work on an unaccelerated Amiga but establishing the connection takes

about one minute. An A3000 will connect in ~7 seconds.

NOTE that this is *NOT* feature complete.

If you want more features: Support me.

If you want to see the code on github.com: Support me more^^

===============

amigassh

===============

USAGE: amigassh [options] [user at ]host[:port] [command [args]]

-? display this help

-p <port> define a port

-T don't allocate a pseudo terminal

-v <n> set verbosity, 0 = OFF, 7 = TRACE

<command> command to run instead of shell

Open a shell on the host using your console colors and mouse.

Or execute a command via SSH2.

===============

amigasshd

===============

Create the folder ENVARC:ssh
Copy the file sshd_config to ENVARC:ssh
Edit the file ENVARC:ssh/sshd_config at your needs
Create an unencrypted key file and name it as in ENVARC:ssh/sshd_config

* e.g. ENVARC:ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

Create and edit the file ENVARC:ssh/passwd

* create entries with

username password

* the passwords are getting hashed on first user logon

Start amigasshd to accept remote SSH2 connections.

A simple terminal emulation is provided.

amigasshkeygen

===============

USAGE: amigasshkeygen [-f <output_keyfile>]

-? display this help

Create ed25519 key files.

===============================================================================

HISTORY

amigassh V1.16

added example ssd_config file
added example passwd
fixed an enforcer hit
now compiled with -regparms
improved some messages and the program return code
ignore unknown shell CHANNEL_REQUESTS

amigassh V1.15

added amigasshd, amigasshkeygen

amigassh V1.14

use all 16 bits of a WORD
enhanced C code with some asm statements
creating a key pair is down to ~15s
verifying the host is down to ~35s

amigassh V1.13

compute the private key before establishing the connection

This increases the chance to establish a connection on slow Amigas

some speed improvements measured with WinUAE cycle exact A500:

* creating a key pair is down to 43,2s!

* verifying the host is down to 2:14,6!

removed CTRL+F
removed using c stdio
add -v switch

amigassh V1.12

fixed some bus errors, now it really runs on 68000
CTRL+F is now used to ***Break
support sending CTRL+A/CTRL+E
better mapping of backspace and delete
stack usage is now below 4000 bytes
added -T switch to run without pseudo terminal

amigassh V1.11

reworked and combined the ed25519 and curve25519 code.

Now 16 bit integers are sufficient!

the resulting program can now be used on a 68000.

amigassh V1.10

fix an enforcer hit (using updated binutils/gcc)

amigassh V1.9

renamed `mono` to `xterm-amiga`. Install it!

Necessary since too many stuff checks for the string `xterm`...

added mouse support
patch the window title, like xterm
suppres right mouse button stuff, also during login

amigassh V1.8

support tooltype CONSOLE
modify __chkabort: use CTRL+E to interrupt amigassh,

CTRL+C is handled only by the host

TERM can be set by an environment variable or define it in the icon
fixed an enforcer hit

amigassh V1.7

fix broken window resize - was filtered too...

amigassh V1.6

add key mappings for CTRL+ALT+CURSOR -> PgUp/Down,Pos1/End
pass CTRL+D and make it work
print preauth banner
support CTRL+S/CTRL+Q
suppress menu messages from KingCON

amigassh V1.5

fix build...
support redirected stdin/stdout

amigassh V1.4

bad version...

amigassh V1.3

amigassh is now pure. set the flag and make it resident!
internal setting of a suitable stack size
verbose error messages
unify ed25519/curve25519 code
properly create ENVARC:.ssh if missing
some terminal improvements

amigassh V1.2

properly exit after logout, no CTRL+D required
mono now supports 8 colors - update that file!
handle key stroke repetition
bind local, needed by roadshow
fix reading after buffer pointer changed

amigassh V1.1

some support for CTRL/ALT,
better cursor keys,
better terminfo `mono`
fix if stdin is a file/pipe

amigassh V1.0

initial version

===============================================================================

SYNOPSIS

amigassh [-p port] [user at ]host[:port]

The port defaults to 22.

The user is read from the environment variable `USER`.

===============================================================================

DESCRIPTION

amigassh is an implementation of SSH2. The supported cryptographic methods are

curve25519-sha256
ssh-ed25519
aes128-gcm at openssh.com
hmac-sha2-256
sha512

Only password based authentication is supported for now.

Install the terminfo `xterm-amiga` on the remote system!

Feel free to improve it!

On many systems you have to copy it as root into `/usr/share/terminfo/x`

Pimp your `.bash_profile` to unset `LANG` since the Amiga doesn't like UTF8...

A convenient way is to add this to `.bash_profile`:

```

if [ "$TERM" == "xterm-amiga" ]; then

unset LANG

```

===============================================================================

RANDOM HINTS

the know hosts are stored in `ENVARC:.ssh/known-hosts`

the random generator is not the best...

It's rand() pimped with time and vpos. Then SHA256 is applied. Good enough?

But who would talk about security on an unprotected system like the Amiga?

preset your username with

set USER=<yourname>

you can do this in `s:shell-startup`

You can start it from the workbench!

Use the icon tooltypes to set

COMMAND a remote command to execute instead of a shell

CONSOLE an Amiga console string (defaults to CON://///AUTO/CLOSE/WAIT)

HOST the host name

PORT the port (defaults to 22)

TERM the terminal emulation (defaults to xterm-amiga)

USER the user name

no console graphics?

install the `xterm-amiga` terminfo!

no console colors?

install the `xterm-amiga` terminfo!

no mouse in mc or other applications?

install the `xterm-amiga` terminfo!

keys not working properly?

install the `xterm-amiga` terminfo!

some key does still not work

try pimping the xterm-amiga terminfo.

use `tic -xsv9 -o. xterm-amiga.src`

console displays trash? text look blank? lines are bogus?

unset the variable `LANG`
