You want the little known extra features of authorized_keys. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Add command="/usr/bin/sleep",no-pty to the same line as the users key, before |
| 14 |
the key itself, i.e. |
| 15 |
command="/usr/bin/sleep",no-pty ssh-rsa AAAA...== user@host |
| 16 |
When the user logs in the command will be run, regardless of what the user |
| 17 |
asks for, and they'll get no pty so couldn't issue any commands interactively |
| 18 |
anyway. |
| 19 |
Remember, however long you set sleep to sleep is how long the session will |
| 20 |
remain open. |

2 other options for authorized_keys I know of are no-port-forwarding and |
| 23 |
no-X11-forwarding. |
