I've moved all the results of the command-line config options into a
small struct instead of having them be local variables of main(). We
maintain an array of those structs; most command-line options modify
the last element in the array; and we respond to the new special
option '--and' by appending a fresh struct to the end of the array and
initialising it to default values.
So now, if I want two or three SSH servers running on different ports
with separately configured host keys, banners, etc, I can do that with
a single command line along the lines of:
./uppity --listen 2222 --hostkey this.ppk --bannertext "this" \
--and --listen 2223 --hostkey that.ppk --bannertext "that"
There's a single number space of connections used in log messages, and
each new connection reports which of the servers it connects to.
This is only a marginally useful feature: there's not much it does
that couldn't have been done just as well by running multiple Uppitys
each in their own process. But when I do want several servers at once
(which I've been using recently to test the jump-host system), it's
quite nice to have them all producing a single combined stream of log
data and all conveniently killable with a single ^C.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
