One authentication with multiple ssh terminals

The concept is very simple — rather than each new SSH connection to a particular server opening up a new TCP connection, you instead multiplex all of your SSH connections down one TCP connection. The authentication only happens once, when the TCP connection is opened, and thereafter all your extra SSH sessions are sent down that connection.

Host *
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/cm_socket/%r@%h:%p

Then mkdir ~/.ssh/cm_socket, and you’re away. Any time a connection to a remote server exists, it’ll be used as the master for any other connections.

All of your SSH sessions are multiplexed down a single TCP connection initiated by the first SSH session, that first session must stay alive until all of the other sessions are complete. This problem will manifest itself as an apparent “hang” when you log out of the remote session that is acting as the master — instead of getting your local prompt back, SSH will just sit there. If you Ctrl-C or otherwise kill this session, all of the other sessions you’ve got setup to that server will drop, so don’t do that. Instead, when you logout of all the other sessions, the master will then return to the local prompt.
