Package: dsh
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

It would be cool if dsh allows some more features for specifying settings like
--show-machine-names, --concurrent-shell and even --remoteshellopt

1) It should be generally possible to specify presets of them, just like the groups, e.g. in /etc/dsh/presets are files with the name of the preset and the same syntax as dsh.conf If a preset was specified at command line (e.g. with --preset <name>, not to forget the completion ;) ), these settings should override ANYTHING (and should in turn be overriden by directly specified command line options).
One could argue whether unspecified options should be derived by e.g. dsh.conf

2) The same should be able to be specified in the group files themselves, e.g. in form of special comments. This would be quite handy, as e.g. for special groups I want to disable concurrent execution, or e.g. explicitly disable X11 and/or ssh-agent forwarding via an remoteshellopt.


Thanks,
Chris.

apropos remoteshellopt's:
It would be cool to see some documentation in the doc-section, how to explicitly tighten/harden ssh as far as possible. I't at least suggest to disable all X11/X11Trusted/Agent Forwardings,.. but perhaps other ssh_config or ssh options could be used too.
Do you haven an idea here?
