Dear Folks, I have been pounding my head against a wall trying to solve mulitiple problems trying to get SAMBA to work (Fedora core 2). Authentication was taking several minutes, and CUPS printing was problematic. I finally removed the Fedora distribution SAMBA binary, and installed the source (from the distribution). Recompiling solved the authentication problem (by excluding the PAM

Dear Samba folks, I have heard and seen nothing about this or matters like it since my posting, so I thought I would repost with some updates. My thinking at the moment is to try to recompile SAMBA (I am using a Fedora core 2 binary distribution) without PAM support, but I hate to do that. Here it is again: I very recently replaced our SGI Challenge S file server, which employed samba 2 to

Dear Samba folks, I very recently replaced our SGI Challenge S file server, which employed samba 2 to service Windows boxes, with an Intel Linux box running Fedora core 2 Linux with samba 3.0.3. When I connect to the server, it takes a number of *minutes* to get an authentication challenge window. After entering name and password, the connection proceeds, and shares are displayed normally.

Dear Samba Folks, Re the message I sent you earlier (reproduced below). The logs are also producing error messages such as this: smbd[12778]: pam_succeed_if: requirement "uid < 100" not met by user "bonomo" smbd[12821]: pam_succeed_if: requirement "uid < 100" not met by user "bonomo" smbd[12840]: pam_succeed_if: requirement "uid <

[NOTE: I'm new to this list and this is my first approach to OpenSSH code.] I've enhanced "--with-prngd-port=PORT" flag to accept an optional hostname as in "myhost:myport", e.g.: % ./configure --with-prngd-port=example.com:12345 Although I'm certain that this may cause big trouble if remote gatherer isn't online (ssh will refuse to open any connection) I

I have a need to have the same OpenSSH binaries run on multiple machines which are administered by different people. That means on Solaris, for example, there will be some with /dev/random, some on which I can run prngd because they'll be installing my binaries as root, and some which will have neither because they will be only installed as non-root. Below is a patch to enable choosing all 3

I have successfully compiled OpenSSH 3.1p1 for the following systems: Solaris 8 Solaris 7 Irix 6.5.14 Irix 6.5.4 SunOS 4.1.3_U1 Unfortunately, the new sshd is not working on any of the above systems with the exception of Solaris 7. (I then put the Solaris 7 executables on Solaris 8, and they worked there too.) This is the error I'm getting: $ /usr/etc/sshd -D -d -d -d debug3: Seeing PRNG

I remember a discussion to the effect that using DSA keys in sshd increases the requirement for random bits available on the system... and that this requirement (was it a 128 bit random number per connection?) presents security problems on systems that don't have a decent source of entropy? Am I misinterpreting those discussions? We are having a problem deploying sshd (no prngd) where sshd

Over the holidays, I intend to finally rid portable OpenSSH of the builtin entropy collection code. Here's what I intend to do: When init_rng is called, we'll check OpenSSL's RAND_status(). If this indicates that their PRNG is already seeded, we'll do nothing. This effectively detects platforms which have /dev/urandom (or similar) configured into OpenSSL. If OpenSSL isn't

Hi, I use openssh-2.9p2 on an i386 LynxOS system. Since LynxOS does not have support for /dev/[u]random, I installed openssh with prngd support. It so happened by accident on installation that prngd.conf got truncated to zero size. With prngd running as such, ssh-keygen just hangs. I notice similar case with sshd, ssh, ... as all these depend on prngd for random number. SMMEstack# /usr/sbin/sshd

Now that ssh-rand-helper has been segregated into a separate program, I'd like to revisit an old question about its entropy gathering. - would it be desirable to make it possible for ssh-rand-helper to fall back to external commands if PRNGD cannot be reached, instead of choosing one or the other at compile time? - When using PRNGD, the program gets 48 bytes of entropy from PRNGD,

Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong list. It was the list I was directed towards. I have reviewed the archives as well as everything I could google before posting. Any help is most appreciated: We're seeing an error during sftp and ssh connections with consistent regularity. It's triggered by a high number of connections coming into sftp/ssh at the same time. It affects

Hello All, I try to use the attached code to produce a cross over plot. There are 13 subjects, 7 of them in for/sal group, and 6 of them in sal/for group. But in xyplot, all the subjects are listed in both subgraphs. Could anyone help me figure out how to get rid of the empty levels?

I upgraded from OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 to OpenSSH 3.4p1. Starting SSHD or ssh-keygen I'm getting the "PRNG is not seeded". I have verified that prngd is running and "egc.pl /var/spool/prngd/pool get" runs just fine reporting 32800 bits of entropy. My platform is Solaris 8 (sparc) and I downloaded binaries from www.sunfreeware.com. My guess is the build of OpenSSH 3.4.p1 is

Buenas tardes, Tengo un data frame denominado “trabajadores”, que cubre desde el 1 de enero de 1997 hasta el 30 junio de 1999, con 3 columnas: Identificador (ID), la fecha de entrada en la empresa (ENT) y la fecha de salida (SAL). Deseo localizar aquellos trabajadores que, durante dicho periodo, NO han llegado a pasar un 31 de diciembre y un 1 de enero seguidos (cambio de año) como asalariados

Hi All, I am using the glm.nb function from the MASS package (current version) to fit and compare GLMs with negative binomial error distributions. My question is: what is the appropriate method to use in the anova function to compare models? If only one fitted object like m<-glm.nb(number<-p+sal+temp,data=data) is specified in the anova function (anova(m)), a fixed theta is used to

Hello forum! I am currently having trouble getting R to recognize one of my pch characters. Here's what I have: legend(120, 40, c("SAL-arterial", "SAL-portal", "GLP-1-arterial", "GLP-1-portal"), bty="n", col=c("black"), pch=19:15:21:22, pt.bg="white", pt.cex=2:2:2:2, lty=1, lwd=2, text.col="black", cex=1.3) Now,

Hi all Am i doing this right? Is this the right list to post to? If not, a quick lesson in ettiquette for me would not hurt. As I am both just starting to use newsgroups and SSH, I am not entirely familiar with the processes. I have a question about ssh-rand-helper. First an outline: I am currently using the SSH packages for Solaris 2.8 available at sunfreeware.com. The environment is
