 # Linux SSH Operator
 
 ## Overview

+
+### SSH Tunneling / Port Forwarding
+
+Local forward (access remote service on a local port):
+
+```bash
+# Access remote MySQL (3306) at localhost:13306
+ssh -L 13306:127.0.0.1:3306 my-server -N
+```
+
+Remote forward (expose a local port on the server):
+
+```bash
+# Make local :8080 accessible on server's :18080
+ssh -R 18080:127.0.0.1:8080 my-server -N
+```
+
+Jump host (bastion → target):
+
+```bash
+ssh -J bastion-user@bastion:22 target-user@target-host
+```
+
+Or configure in `~/.ssh/config`:
+
+```sshconfig
+Host target-internal
+  HostName 10.0.0.50
+  User ubuntu
+  ProxyJump bastion
+```
+
+### SSH Multiplexing (faster repeated connections)
+
+Add to `~/.ssh/config` to reuse the same TCP connection:
+
+```sshconfig
+Host *
+  ControlMaster auto
+  ControlPath ~/.ssh/ctrl-%h-%p-%r
+  ControlPersist 60s
+```
+
+The first `ssh my-server` opens a master connection; subsequent connections reuse it without re-handshaking.
+

+## SSH Tunneling / Port Forwarding
+
+### Local forward
+
+Access a remote service on a local port (server-side port does not need to be publicly open):
+
+```bash
+# remote MySQL → localhost:13306
+ssh -L 13306:127.0.0.1:3306 my-server -N
+
+# remote Redis → localhost:16379
+ssh -L 16379:127.0.0.1:6379 my-server -N
+```
+
+Add `-f` to background the tunnel:
+
+```bash
+ssh -fNL 13306:127.0.0.1:3306 my-server
+```
+
+### Remote forward
+
+Expose a local service on the server (useful for demos or webhooks):
+
+```bash
+# local :8080 → server :18080
+ssh -R 18080:127.0.0.1:8080 my-server -N
+```
+
+### Jump host / bastion
+
+```bash
+# Single jump
+ssh -J bastion user@target
+
+# Multi-hop
+ssh -J jump1,jump2 user@target
+```
+
+`~/.ssh/config` version:
+
+```sshconfig
+Host target-internal
+  HostName 10.0.0.50
+  User ubuntu
+  ProxyJump bastion
+```
+
+## SSH Multiplexing
+
+Reuse the same TCP connection for multiple SSH sessions — avoids repeated handshakes:
+
+```sshconfig
+Host *
+  ControlMaster auto
+  ControlPath ~/.ssh/ctrl-%h-%p-%r
+  ControlPersist 60s
+```
+
+Check active master sockets:
+
+```bash
+ls ~/.ssh/ctrl-*
+```
+
+Close a master socket manually:
+
+```bash
+ssh -O exit my-server
+```
+
 ## Safer host key handling
 
 - Prefer verifying the host key fingerprint out-of-band on first connect.
 - If you must automate first-connect for ephemeral hosts, use `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` (OpenSSH 7.6+).
 - If you see a "host key changed" warning, treat it as a potential security incident until you confirm the change is expected.
 
+Remove a stale known_hosts entry:
+
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -R SERVER_IP
+```
+
 ## Troubleshooting quick hits
 
-- `Permission denied (publickey)`: wrong user, wrong key, server missing your public key, or `sshd` settings.
-- `Connection timed out`: routing/firewall/security group, wrong port, server down.
-- `No route to host`: network path missing (VPN, subnet, ACL).
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Permission denied (publickey)` | Wrong user/key, pub key not on server, sshd config | Check `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on server; verify key matches |
+| `Connection timed out` | Firewall/security group, wrong port, server down | Check port, security group, ping |
+| `No route to host` | Network path missing (VPN, ACL, subnet) | Check VPN, routing table |
+| `Host key changed` warning | Server rebuilt, or MITM | Verify with out-of-band channel; `ssh-keygen -R HOST` if expected |
+| `Too many authentication failures` | SSH agent offering too many keys | Use `-o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519` |
+| `sudo: a terminal is required` | No TTY allocated | Use `ssh -tt` or pass `-t` to wrapper |
 
+### Debug connection verbosely
+
+```bash
+ssh -vvv my-server
+```
+
+### Check sshd config on server
+
+```bash
+ssh my-server "sudo sshd -T | grep -E 'pubkeyauthentication|passwordauthentication|permitrootlogin'"
+```
+
+### Check authorized_keys permissions (common cause of publickey failure)
+
+```bash
+ssh my-server "ls -la ~/.ssh/ && cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
+# .ssh should be 700, authorized_keys should be 600
+```
