Any change bgtunnel will support password logins and not just ssh key files?

Today bgtunnel's connection validation method expects the server to write to stdout on a successful connection. Not every server does this so @hamiltont introduced #6 which allows passing in expect_hello=False to bgtunnel.open and thus bypassing the validation method. This workaround was added to 0.3.6.

Perhaps something is written to stdout but the buffer is not flushed. Look this up.

I may be incorrect here, but I don't believe bgtunnel works with python2.6 (EDIT: Requirements make this clear that 2.6 is not supported).

Is it possible to either

1. add in 2.6 support (CentOS 6 comes with p2.6 by default 👎 )
2. make it so that pip for python2.6 does not see bgtunnel as an install option?

I'm testing this python module.
Sometimes I have an exceptio "bgtunnel.SSHTunnelError: stdin is not a tty", and sometimes the same script starts successfully. When I have the exception, if i try a another to start it, the script is running ...
I link the script with whom I'm doing my test :

import docker
import bgtunnel

def list_images(host, port):
    forwarder = bgtunnel.open(ssh_user="root", ssh_address=host, host_port=str(port))
    client = docker.Client(base_url="http://localhost:{0}".format(forwarder.bind_port)
    return client.images()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print list_images("192.168.10.135", 5555)

If you can explain me, how to ensure that the exception doesn't appear ?

Hi!
I read docs but i can't find function to close exists connection. Each connection auto close or I must close? How do I close its?

Thanks

I'm trying to relocate the ssh keys to another folder instead of the default on Linux. Currently I can use the identity_file kwarg to specify which private key file to use, but this only works if the known_hosts file is still in its original folder.

I've tried making a config file with both the identity file and known hosts file paths specified, but this does not work as the identity_file:

IdentityFile *path1*
UserKnownHostsFile *path2*

Is there a way to specify the known_hosts location, or a config file?

Edit:
Per the ssh manual page specifying the config is an existing option:

-F configfile
            Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file.  If a
            configuration file is given on the command line, the
            system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) will
            be ignored.  The default for the per-user configuration
            file is ~/.ssh/config.  If set to “none”, no configuration
            files will be read.

It looks like this could be added very similarly to how identity_file is.

An additional/alternative option is to add -o, which allows (among other things) UserKnownHostsFile to be specified:

-o option
             Can be used to give options in the format used in the
             configuration file.  This is useful for specifying options
             for which there is no separate command-line flag.  For full
             details of the options listed below, and their possible
             values, see ssh_config(5).
