Hi,
is there anyone using shellinabox[1] (Web based AJAX terminal emulator): I'm trying to run it on a Centos 6.2 x86_64 but I cannot past inserting username and I get "session closed". Actually I'm using SELINUX in Enforcing mode but nothing strange is logged in /var/log/audit/audit.log. Actually nothing strange is logged anywhere but I still get only "session closed" after inserting username and pressing enter key. I'm trying to escape a very strong firewall/proxy for the purpose of managing such a Centos box via SSH and, if you know alternatives to shellinabox, I'll be very glad to hear something from you. I already tried corkscrew and tor but both cannot escape firewall/proxy rules.
Thanks in advance for your help, Bye Piero

Never heard of shellinabox. Why do you need that, rather than, say, xterm or rxvt or konsole?

Hi,
normally I would use ssh to reach the server I need to manage but actually I'm working in an environment where internet connection is filtered from firewalls and proxies: in a such place it is not possible to use ssh as its connection is closed as soon as I try to open it. Shellinabox is a terminal emulator that works in a browser and this looks like the only possibility I have to reach the server I want to manage.

it may be that your restrictive proxy disallows AJAX communications .... does gmail and google documents work through this restrictive proxy ? google maps?

How about changing your SSH listening port to 80?

That is not security.
It does not fix the proxy issue, as ssh is not http.
And In many places it would be an IA violation to install ssh client.
The list can go on...

We use it to allow users access to the HPC from Windows machines. The alternative, cygwin, takes quite a bit of installation and configuration so shellinabox is a lightweight alternative. We're still on CentOS 5, so not a lot of use to the OP however.

cygwin?? if you need a ssh client on Windows, use putty. if you need an x-terminal, use Xming. both are ligthweight, small, and very easy to configure, including via scripting and automatic push installs.

If ssh is allowed through the firewall, you can run freenx on the server and the cross-platform NX clients from www.nomachine.com to run full X desktops with good remote performance and the ability to reconnect to running sessions.

There is an open issue regarding public key authentication: http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/issues/detail?id=112
If you want to see whats going on increase LogLevel.
Sorry for the top post.
No time to write about this now, but yes and here is the src rpm with patches to make it work.
