Hi,
I am willing to deploy on my server an SSH daemon which I can control
what commands can be executed, and by who.
After playing with jailkit [link] I realised that implementing my own
SSH server will give me more power and scalability (especially
regarding of users, keys and accounts management).
Naturally I approached twisted knowing it will solve this problem as a
smart kiddo solves a simple safari puzzle.
Playing with samples found on the web and at Twisted docs, I realised
that twisted has everything I need for the task, but I am missing the
knowledge of how to glue it all together.
In fact, a command if not working on the first strike, works on the second
try.
Can you have git be more verbose about what it's going? If it is running
OpenSSH's ssh client, can you have it pass -v (verbose) a few times? That
might provide more hints about what's going wrong. You should also try
enabling Twisted logging in your SSH server to see if any useful information
is available there.

Jean Paul, thanks for your suggestions, however, either -v or
--verbose yields an error: unknown switch `v'
I'm not familiar with git. I meant for -v to be passed as an argument to
ssh.
regarding logs on the twisted side, I got this line at the top of the file:
log.startLogging(sys.stderr)
is there anything else I can do in order to expand the logging options.
Ah, I overlooked that. Once you've enabled it, it's basically as verbose
as it's going to get. What do you see relating to SSH in the log file?
Conch is pretty verbose.
anyway, once I changed the following:
def execCommand(self, proto, cmd):
command = ('git-shell', '-c', cmd)
shell = '/usr/bin/git-shell'
reactor.spawnProcess(proto, shell, command)
into:
def execCommand(self, proto, cmd):
command = ('git-shell', '-c', cmd)
shell = '/usr/bin/git-shell'
reactor.callFromThread(lambda: reactor.spawnProcess(proto,
shell, command))
Everything works fine. Seems like this separation did something good.
Since execCommand is already only called in the reactor thread, this
isn't doing much - but it is slightly changing the timing of when
things happen. That suggests the real problem may be a race between
different parts of your code. It's not obvious what the race might be
between, from reading your code, though.
