Installation.
l Intsall EPEL Repo.
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# yum install epel-release
l Install shellinabox package
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# yum install shellinabox
Configuration.
Shellinabox configuration file : /etc/sysconfig/shellinaboxd
Lets have a look on the file and allow and modify the important lines
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/shellinaboxd
# Shell in a box daemon configuration
# For details see shellinaboxd man page
# Basic options
USER=shellinabox
GROUP=shellinabox
CERTDIR=/var/lib/shellinabox
PORT=4200
OPTS="--disable-ssl-menu -s /:LOGIN"
OPTS="-t -s /:SSH:192.168.0.181"
l PORT
PORT=4200
Chnage PORT to some other to avoid conflict between sytem level ports
I will be changing it to 6162
l SSH HOST
OPTS="-t -s /:SSH:192.168.0.101"
Chnage IP or Hostname to your default login host, by default shellinabox will ask to login into it, then later you can ssh and jump into n number of servers.
My final config file would look as
# Shell in a box daemon configuration
# For details see shellinaboxd man page
# Basic options
USER=shellinabox
GROUP=shellinabox
CERTDIR=/var/lib/shellinabox
PORT=6162
OPTS="--disable-ssl-menu -s /:LOGIN"
OPTS="-t -s /:SSH:192.168.0.101"
Configuration Done..
Important :
STOP Firewalld iptables and disable selinux
# Service firewalld stop
# Service iptables stop
Disable SELINUX : change status of selinux to disabled
Finally Restart the shellinaboxd daemon.
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# service shellinaboxd start
