ssh_filter_btrbk.sh(1) ssh command filter script for btrbk

SYNOPSIS

ssh_filter_btrbk.sh [-s|--source] [-t|--target] [-d|--delete] [-i|--info]
[-p|--restrict-path <path>] [-l|--log] [--sudo]

DESCRIPTION

ssh_filter_btrbk.sh restricts SSH commands to btrfs commands used by btrbk. It examines the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable (set by sshd) and executes it only if it matches commands used by btrbk. The accepted commands are specified by the "--source", "--target", "--delete" and "--info" options.

Note that the following btrfs commands are always allowed: "btrfs subvolume show", "btrfs subvolume list".

Example line in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on a backup target host:

command="ssh_filter_btrbk.sh --target --delete --restrict-path /mnt/btr_backup" ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1...hwumXFRQBL [email protected]
