Mosh is a ssh client server that is aware of connectivity problems of the original ssh implementation. Mosh can migrate physical connections and ip addresses while staying connected. Mosh depends upon net-misc/openssh. Mosh uses udp ports 60000-61000 sequentially.
Installation
Merge
Install net-misc/mosh:
root # emerge net-misc/mosh
Usage
Mosh requires utf8 locales set to run. This is the default for Funtoo Linux if you have not set any specific locales.
root # echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen
root # locale-gen
root # eselect locale set en_US.utf8
Connecting
remote host only needs running ssh, mosh package installed, and utf8 locale set.
user $ mosh user@remote-host.com
