EL SHELL IN A BOX

Shell in a box will create a custom webserver that allows for terminal access.

INSTALLATION

Firt we need to have EPEL enabled if it is not already:

    sudo yum install epel-release

Next, install the shellinabox package:

    sudo yum install shellinabox

CONFIGURATION

The configuration file is located at:

    /etc/sysconfig/shellinaboxd

Ensure that the port is a good one.

FIREWALL CONFIGURATION

Presuming standard port 4200 (correct as necessary):

    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=4200/tcp
    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=4200/udp
    sudo firewall-cmd --reload

ENABLE & START DAEMON

    sudo systemctl enable shellinaboxd
    sudo systemctl start shellinaboxd

REBOOT

Due to having new user/group for the daemon, a reboot is necessary

    sudo systemctl reboot

FIX ANY SELINUX ISSUES

    sudo ausearch -c 'login' --raw | audit2allow -M my-login
    sudo semodule -i my-login.pp
