ssh-allow-friend
This is a bash script to temporarily allow a ssh login using friends public key automatically fetched from online servers.
Example usage:
./ssh-allow-friend --github my-friend-user-name
The script will fetch my-friend-user-name’s public key from github and add to
current user authorized keys. After running the command, in a machine where
$USER is fanl and the local ip is 192.168.2.13, the script will print:
Acquired key for user my-friend-user-name from github,
your friend is now able to login via ssh using:
ssh fanl@192.168.2.13
Login authorization will be ceased after this
program terminates.
Press ^C to exit.
Your friend can now login with the command fanl@192.168.2.13.
If you need to select a different user to your friend ssh session, use:
sudo -H -u another_user ./ssh-allow-friend --github my-friend-user-name
