[gentoo-user] cross-compiling mosh

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I read about mosh http://mosh.mit.edu/ only yesterday and installed it
on some of my systems to get started with it.

I have a server at a customer which I access through an IPSEC tunnel ...
for some reason the openssh-connection somehow stalls and even playing
with the IPSEC-params didn't help much ...

Might have to do with changing my router (right now a pfsense, earlier
an ipfire-installation on an ALIX board) .. and the other side is
running Cisco ... so ... you know.

So I am rather curious if mosh could somehow help here.

Unfortunately there are now binaries for the old SLES 10 that server
runs. And the dependencies aren't there right now .. so I wonder if I
could pre-compile mosh on my gentoo box ...

I hesitate to just copy it over and execute it as I am definitely not
paid to crash their servers ;-)

The SLES says:

# uname -a
Linux juno 2.6.16.60-0.66.1-smp #1 SMP Fri May 28 12:10:21 UTC 2010
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Anything to consider here ... ? possible?

Thanks!

Stefan

ps: anyone using mosh already? Experiences? opinions?

I've been using mosh for almost a month now for my remote servers and
when I'm away, for my workstation. I like the local echo and the
persistent session over dodgy network connections. I can restart my
router without worrying about re connecting via ssh. The responsiveness
on high latency servers is also a big + for me.

Set-up is also fairly straightforward just need to get the locale getup
right. Mis-configured locale was the only issue I've ran into so far.

I still have to get used to it ... some things are different ... for
example scrolling up the terminal history and colors.

Could someone tell me just from a general point of view if I could just
*try* to copy my gentoo-binaries over and test them or if I should not
do that to not crash that server?

;-)

Thanks!
