WTF! Why would anyone C or B or even A give out a PRIVATE key.
Does no one RTFM - you never ever give out your private key
and you protect it to heck and back.

      C are open 80,22. And this is http's 403 state on the C.
      I have A's root,how to steal private key On the C. Are there have
some vuln with openssh.
      Is there some impossible which C login in to the A and B when A and B
let C run some bash.


OK, I am a total n00b here but I do not see how having an ssl connection would help reveal an SSH key.  Our 
organization generates our root certs separate from, and unrelated to SSH keys.. I do not see how SSL access in and 
of itself, helps get at SSH keys, If it does, let me know, I bank at Chase and that would be darn handy to know 
(believe me, they have it coming)!

This is full disclosure not "help a student do his homework".
My advice: give him a very blatantly stupid answer - let him get "null 
points" from teacher :-)
