SSH bouncing update – getting rid of Killed by signal 1

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:02:16 +0000

If you read my article on ssh bouncing, you surely use it.

One annoying thing is “Killed by signal 1” when exiting the bounced session.

dolfi:~ simon$ ssh supercoolserver
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
Killed by signal 1.

So the solution is to change the ~/.ssh/config file and add the “2>/dev/null” to the very end of the ProxyCommand line.

Host hostalias
User root
ProxyCommand ssh bouncer.server -p 2222 'nc destination.server 2222' 2>/dev/null

Found the solution here. Thanks to merdely.
