The SourceForge project was registered in 2001 and describes the program as a shell script for executing a command or script over SSH on multiple hosts with one command, using ssh-agent and public-key authentication where possible to avoid repeated password prompts. ### How it is used Its niche is deliberately narrower than configuration-management systems: it broadcasts one-off remote commands or scripts across host lists. That made it useful for administrators who needed a simple SSH fan-out tool without adopting a larger orchestration stack. Packaging in Homebrew and major Linux distributions keeps it in the lightweight CLI/sysadmin category alongside tools such as pssh and pdsh. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mussh - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - mussh - 1.0-1.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: mussh from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | MUltihost SSH Wrapper | http://mussh.sourceforge.net/ - Ubuntu apt - mussh - 1.0-1.1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: mussh from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | MUltihost SSH Wrapper | http://mussh.sourceforge.net/ - dnf - mussh - 1.0-30.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: mussh from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/210a2053c8e007daf9ae39c2a21daaed9b2ddd07d63ecffa597050361e73650c-primary.xml.zst | Multihost SSH wrapper | http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mussh ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://pkg.so/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [pssh](https://pkg.so/brew/pssh/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, remote-access, remote-execution, ssh. - [mosh](https://pkg.so/brew/mosh/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, remote-access, ssh. - [putty](https://pkg.so/brew/putty/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, remote-access, ssh. - [shellz](https://pkg.so/brew/shellz/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, remote-access, ssh. - [shmux](https://pkg.so/brew/shmux/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, remote-execution, ssh. - [sshuttle](https://pkg.so/brew/sshuttle/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, ssh. - [autossh](https://pkg.so/brew/autossh/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, ssh. - [lazyssh](https://pkg.so/brew/lazyssh/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, ssh. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
