similar to: Rhosts Authentication Problem on Solaris

I'm trying to learn about the tcltk package and its uses. Floundering around a bit ... Have discovered Peter Dalgaard's articles in R-News, which should help. Also James Wettenhall's suite of examples look like they might be enlightening, even though the indications are that they are Windoze oriented. Be that as it were, I decided to fool around a bit with Tcl/Tk *outside* of R to

I found this problem when working with the Suse9.1 distribution, but have since reproduced it with a vanilla build of Openssh (openssh-3.9p1.tar.gz). Basically I cannot get a command like this: XXXX>ssh -vvv -1 -o "RhostsAuthentication yes" AAAA to work. Yes the appropriate settings are in the servers sshd_config file. Hostbased protocol 1 ssh using rhosts between computers is

Well, I'm a recent convert from WBEL. My biggest concern with CentOS is that the community here seems to want to be more than a recompile of RHEL. But WBEL is floundering, what with Katrina and Rita, and there really being only 1 developer behind it, etc. I offer an automated shell script to switch from WBEL4 to CentOS4 (easy, it's hosted on my home DSL line!) It assumes that

Hi, there is a tiny bug in readconf.c: options->use_privileged_port is always set to 0 regardless of whether -P is specified or not. This has the effect that RhostsAuthentication is disabled even if "RhostsAuthentication yes" is specified. The (trivial) patch is appended below.

I don't find how to do what I need to do in Dalgaard or 'R Cookbook', so I'm asking here. I have a data frame with water chemistry data and I want to start exploring these data. There are three factors (site, date, chemical) associated with each measurement. The data frame looks like this: > summary(chemdata) site_id.sample_date.param.quant

This is causing me great consternation, and I've spent too much time floundering around on it. My data is in the form of columns in Excel, with the first column being in m/dd/yyyy hh:mm format. The spreadsheet is complicated (headers, merged cells, lines w/o data); so I've tried various ways of exporting the data into a text file for the R processing - CSV, spaced, etc. For example:

In the changelog, there is an entry: 20001129 - (djm) Back out all the serverloop.c hacks. sshd will now hang again if there are background children with open fds. Does this mean that this is regarded as expected (and correct) behavior, that should not change in the future, or does it mean that this behavior is a known problem that someone will eventually fix? --Adam -- Adam McKenna

I'm sure there is a rationale for binding the ssh client to a priviledged port. (Which?) However there are several drawbacks to this: o It breaks firewall rules that assume that user connections start at port > 1024 or > 32768. o It breaks monitoring software using the same assumptions. o Every suid program is a separate evil (caused by the flawed security model in most unices). I

Can anyone supply me with a simple, succinct explanation of what the difference is between the "new" controller and the "create" controller that the scaffold generator produces? I run: > script/generate scaffold modelname controllername And now I need to do some work inside the controllername.rb file. For example, pulling a list from another database table to supply

I figured this out -- looks like 2.5.1p1 is now using ports < 1024 on the client side (wasn't before?). I had a ipchains rule to allow ACK packets to 1024:65535, which was good enough for <= 2.3.0p1 : #allow only ACK tcp packed ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -i eth0 -s any/0 --dport 1024:65535 -p tcp ! -y So I added the following : #allow return from ssh connections ipchains -A input -j

Hi. Does anyone use UsePrivilegedPort or have ssh(1) setuid, and if so for what use case? ssh(1) has had code in it to support installing setuid root since approximately forever, however OpenBSD has not shipped it in that configuration since 2002 (and I suspect these days no vendor does). As far as I can tell, all of the reasons for this no longer apply: - setuid root was needed to bind to a

Has ANYONE been able to verify that Rhosts authentication works with 3.4.p1? Does it work with other SSHv2 implementations? Anybody tried it on a RedHat 7.3 system? Also, I'm curious about this code I found in sshd.c: /* * Check that the connection comes from a privileged port. * Rhosts-Authentication only makes sense from priviledged * programs. Of course, if

I simply cannot get use rhosts = yes to work; whether I have security set to user or share it will only work if I have the share set to public (and then it maps to the guest user). I do have .rhosts files set up with proper permissions and ownership; I can post details but if this isn't supposed to work anymore there's no point.

Wow, this is definitely turning out to not be my month ... upgrade all the servers to OpenSSH due to SSH1.2.26 vulnerabilities ... .rhosts doesn't work anymore :( Get that fixed ... now rhosts of usera:hosta -> userb:hostb, where userb:hostb's rhosts has 'hosta usera' in it fails ... I don't know if these are problems specific to Solaris 7 or not, but can ppl check their

One our servers at work, I use ssh/rdist to sync binaries on various machines...one master server, several client machines. This requires the ability to ssh to the remote host without a password, so I have a .rhosts setup on the remote host, trusting the 'central server'... With pre25, I can't seem to get this to work anymore... I have PermitRootLogin yes IgnoreRhosts no set ...

I know I shouldn't :) But, I have a requirement for a group writable home directory that has a .rhosts file that I want OpenSSH to be able to use. When I set the group writable permissions for the directory, OpenSSH rejects the .rhosts file as it doesn't like the permissions. Is there a workaround or an option to control this, I don't want to hack the source unless I absolutely have

Hi, i'm trying to use rhosts with RSA to allow me to run commands as root. My AIX system is setup to not allow remote logins using the file /etc/security/user. On my other systems, i can use rsh to run commands, but i cannot login. When i try the same with ssh, it does not work. i'm not really sure what i should be seeing in the debug output. To me, it doesn't even look like it

Can anyone remind me of the reason for breaking the rhosts-rsa protcol (by not using a privilaged port by default)? -- Mike Stone

Hi, According to ChangeLog someone "(bal)" removed -{enable/disable}-suid-ssh from configure (dating from 2002/06/07). Don't know the reason, probably this has something to do with PrivilegeSeparation. Consequence is: Users with UID != 0 are no longer able to allocate privileged ports, sshd answers "Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be
