autossh is a program to start a copy of ssh and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. The idea and the mechanism are from rstunnel (Reliable SSH Tunnel), but implemented in C.
Summary: SSH Tunnel => add: autossh
Ping? I use autossh on other computer's I admin, so that I can ssh into them when they are behind a firewall.

Thansk, but for any systems upgraded from Mandriva 2010.2 with autossh already installed ... A requested package cannot be installed: autossh-1.4b-1.mga2.i586 (in order to keep autossh-1.4b-3mdv2010.1.i586) Either the version number has to be increased, or an obsolete on the mdv version added.

Can this be added as an update for Mageia 1? It was present in Mandriva 2010.2.

This is an update candidate, not a backport request, as the package was present in Mandriva 2010.2.

Testing complete in i586 for the srpm autossh-1.4b-4.1.mga1.src.rpm For testing, I used a Mageia 1 host, and a Mageia 1 VB install. First, get ssh working for one user that has an account in the host, and in the guest, in both directions, without a password. Then, in the guest add an entry to ~/.ssh/config like ... Host myhost Hostname 192.168.20.101 Port 22 User dave Then run export AUTOSSH_POLL=90 /usr/bin/autossh -f -N -M 0 -R 8032:localhost:22 myhost Then, in the host, setup the ~/.ssh/config entry like Host vb Hostname localhost Port 8032 User dave Compression yes CompressionLevel 9 ServerAliveInterval 120 You should then be able to use "ssh vb" to login to the guest install, from the host. This is usful when the guest machine is behind a router that doesn't forward port 22 to the guest system. I use it currently on several systems I maintain remotely.
We still need an x86-64 test for autossh.
Testing x86_64
Validating the update. I've installed Mageia 1 x86-64 on a friends system, and the Testing version of autossh. I can now connect from my i586 system to his. Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm autossh-1.4b-4.1.mga1.src.rpm from Core Updates Testing to Core Updates. Advisory: This update adds autossh, to automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels, that was present in Mandriva 2010.2, but missing from Mageia 1. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049
