sshproxy is a pure Python implementation of an SSH proxy.

sshproxy allows users to connect to remote sites without having to remember the password or key of the remote sites.

How do I use it ?

Here is an overview of a normal ssh session:

me@myhost $ ssh -tp 2242 me@proxy remote-site
root@remote-site #
... doing some administration commands ...
root@remote-site # exit
me@myhost $

Here is the same with the pssh shell wrapper:

me@myhost $ pssh remote-site
root@remote-site #
... doing some administration commands ...
root@remote-site # exit
me@myhost $

You can also execute remote commands:

me@myhost $ pssh remote-site uname -a
nova.wallix.com
me@myhost $

Here is an example of an scp transfert:

me@myhost $ scp /etc/issue me@proxy:root@remote-site:/etc/issue.new
me@myhost $

And the same with the pscp shell wrapper:
me@myhost $ pscp /etc/issue remote-site:/etc/issue.new
me@myhost $

What's New in This Release:
Since the 0.4 branch, the database backend has been split in three different and independent backends: client, ACL, and site.
Authorization policies are now easier to define, and limited only by your imagination.
A simple and powerful ACL engine has been put into the heart of sshproxy.
The plugin architecture allows virtually any extension or modification of sshproxy.
