Mosh's SSH not using ControlPersist/multiplexing #1181

Open jerryc05 opened 2 years ago

jerryc05 commented 2 years ago

I have seen this pr already, but it's almost 10 years from now: https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/pull/119

So it there a "modern" way to passwordless-ly connect to remote host? One workaround would be ssh-add my keys and then connect, but does not work for password authentication servers.

You can try --experimental-remote-ip=remote (see the man page for documentation).

(Note that you will only be able to do this if you have a persistent SSH session—a persistent Mosh session won’t help you.)

Cool, but remote does not work if the host is behind another machine (like NAT). Then I tried local, which works great 99% of time, except that it does not parse the host alias from the ssh config, causing

could not get canonical name for ???: Name or service not known

Can we add this feature somehow? E.g. add another option like local-ssh-config so that it parses ssh config's host alias before sending it to DNS.
