buildbot.manhole._BaseManhole

This provides remote access to a python interpreter (a read/exec/print loop) embedded in the buildmaster via an internal SSH server. This allows detailed inspection of the buildmaster state. It is of most use to buildbot developers. Connect to this by running an ssh client.

init(self, port, checker, using_ssh=True)
(Constructor)

source code

Parameters:

port (string or int) - what port should the Manhole listen on? This is a strports specification string, like 'tcp:12345' or 'tcp:12345:interface=127.0.0.1'. Bare integers are treated as a simple tcp port.
checker (an object providing the twisted.cred.checkers.ICredentialsChecker interface) - if provided, this checker is used to authenticate the client instead of using the username/password scheme. You must either provide a username/password or a Checker. Some useful values are:
```
   import twisted.cred.checkers as credc
   import twisted.conch.checkers as conchc
   c = credc.AllowAnonymousAccess # completely open
   c = credc.FilePasswordDB(passwd_filename) # file of name:passwd
   c = conchc.UNIXPasswordDatabase # getpwnam() (probably /etc/passwd)
```
using_ssh (bool) - If True, accept SSH connections. If False, accept regular unencrypted telnet connections.
