Interesting. Thanks for the tip! I'd never heard of ssh host hopping, but have been doing 2-3 sequential ssh logins for years. I always wondered if this was possible somehow! I found this nice tutorial that explains your tip in detail:

This made all the time I've spent on HN in the past week worthwhile! :)
- thristian 16y agoAt $EMPLOYER, I have a script that takes a description of the network topology, converts it to a sequence of Host stanzas and writes them to ~/.ssh/config. The source file is simple enough that the sysad team can keep it up-to-date when they change the network configuration, and most people just have to run the 'update' script occasionally to have Super SSH Powers. It's quite popular.
- roadnottaken 16y agoDon't suppose you'd be willing to post this uber-script somewhere?
