Remote Extension Issues via SSH

The corporate servers can be locked down so we need to make the following changes:

• enable /tmp execution:

mount -o exec,remount /tmp

• to turn it off again you can run the command:

mount -o noexec,remount /tmp

• allow port forwarding by adding the following lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

AllowStreamLocalForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes

• restart service:

systemctl restart sshd
