[erlang-questions] Replacing default shell in sshd

[David Svanlund]

Charles,

I experimented with the ssh module a couple of days ago. The  
(incomplete) example code below might help you understand how to  
replace the default shell.

-module(ssh_example).
-export([start/0, dispatch/0, hello/0]).

start() ->
   ssh:daemon({0,0,0,0}, 1122, [{shell, {?MODULE, dispatch, []}},  
{user_passwords, [{"davidsvanlund", "banana"}]}]).

dispatch() ->
   spawn(?MODULE, hello, []).

hello() ->
   io:format("Hello user!\n"),
   loop().

loop() ->
   Line = io:get_line("> "),
   io:format(Line),
   loop().
