Mosh

Mosh

Wait what?

A mobile shell.

Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.

Mosh is a replacement for SSH. It's more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.

Servers

These Infolab servers currently support mosh:

  • madmax{1..7}
  • raiders{1..5}

Permissions, permissions

Here's what usually happens:

~$ mosh ur_csid@raiders4
ur_csid@raiders4's password: 
...
-bash: /afs/cs.stanford.edu/u/ur_csid/.bash_profile: Permission denied
ur_csid@raiders4:~$ 

Here's how to fix it:

ur_csid@raiders4:~$ kinit
Password for ur_csid@CS.STANFORD.EDU: 
ur_csid@raiders4:~$ aklog
ur_csid@raiders4:~$ 

Another fix is running Kerberos on your client machine...
