Testcase OpenSSH

Description

This test case tests OpenSSH basic functionalities (ssh login, scpfiles).

Setup

• Ensure that openssh-server,openssh-clients packages are installed.
• Ensure that SSH port (22/tcp) is open in the firewall.

How to testOn the remote host<remote_host_ip>:

• Log-in as root.
• Start SSHD service: service sshd start
• Add a user <testuser>: useradd <testuser>
• Set a password for <testuser>: passwd <testuser>

On your local host:

• Create 10M test file:

 dd if=/dev/urandom  of=/tmp/testfile bs=1M count=10

• Copy the file over SSH: scp /tmp/testfile <testuser>@<remote_host_ip>:/tmp/
• Log-in over SSH with <testuser>: ssh <testuser>@<remote_host_ip>
• Check for the test file: file /tmp/testfile
• Check for the size of the test file: du /tmp/testfile

Expected Results

• All operations should work.
• The size of test file on remote machine should match local one.
• Double check test file integrity with md5sum
