similar to: automating ssh-keygen

Looking at openSSH INSTALL: To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so manually using the following commands: ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N "" ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N "" But when I try latter, I get: (gdb) n 1 0x35a6 in save_private_key_ssh2 ( filename=0xb2d2c

ssh-keygen already supports importing and exporting ssh keys using various formats. The "-m PEM" which should have been the easiest to be used with various of external application expects PKCS#1 encoded key, while many applications use SubjectPublicKeyInfo encoded key. This change adds SubjectPublicKeyInfo support, to ease integration with applications. Examples: ## convert

All, I have a CentOS 4 system I need to update OpenSSH on. Most of my experience has been on slackware and I am new to using yum and packages. I ran yum and it tells me that my current installed version is 3.9 patch level 1. It also said that there are no updates for it. I did a google for it but every link I saw that seemed to point to info about an rpm for 4.3 came up not found. Is there a

I'm trying to move from SSH1 to OpenSSH 2.9.9p2, under Solaris 8. Initial setup and testing seems to work... including the generation of a new RSA key. The key was created with "ssh-keygen -t rsa" and a passphrase; nothing unusual. I can SSH between machines, both running 2.9.9p2, and debug messages show that this file is being correctly read (I think). It prompts me for the

Moin, attached is a patch, which adds a new configuration option "PreferAskpass" to the ssh config. ssh{,-add,-keygen,-agent} will use ssh-askpass to prompt for passwords, if this option is set to "yes", and if ssh-askpass is available. Default for "PreferAskpass" is "no". Pacth is against current CVS. Sebastian -- signature intentionally left blank.

Hi all, we are just beginning to dive into rsync. I have limited experience with just playing around with the examples and reading all the docs that I can. I just read an interesting post from a developer that mentions cwrsync is a minimalistic rsync and thus things like permissions are not transfered, the post was from 2004. Here are my questions Windows (cw)Rsync Client --> Linux Rsync

I hope this isn't an invalid topic for this list. I'm on so many lists and I hate to join another one just to get help on one thing. Apologies if it's not. I am able to use ssh-keygen to generate keys so that I can ssh from my Mac to any of my SuSE systems or ssh from my Mac to any of my FreeBSD systems, without having to enter my password. When I try the same thing from a SuSE system

Hi, I am running openssh7.3p1 on an embedded Linux system and discovered this problem. If I run: ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f testfile it appears to generate the key and I get the output: Generating public/private rsa1 key pair. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Saving key "testfile" failed: unknown or unsupported key type Should this option

Add private key protection information extraction to shh-keygen using -v option on top of -y option which is already parsing the private key. Technically, the passphrase isn't necessary to do this, but it is the most logical thing to do for me. Adding this to -l option is not appropriate because fingerprinting is using the .pub file when available. An other idea is to add a new option, I

Hi, OpenSSH 5.4 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This is a big release, with a number of major new features and many bug fixes. Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/ The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD: http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html Portable OpenSSH

The patch (against 4.7p1) modifies gnome-ssh-askpass to optionally generate a one-time password and transmits it to the user via an out-of-band communication channel. If you can read the password and enter it back into the gnome-ssh-askpass dialog, ssh-agent is allowed to continue with the authentication process. There are two ways to use the modified gnome-ssh-askpass. The first

http://bass.directhit.com/openssh_snap/ Starting tonight I plan on tracking changes very closely with the OpenBSD tree. I need people to test the latest snapshot (9/14 at of right now) and report success or failure on compiling. I am starting this now because we are looking at a code freeze soon and I really want to ensure it compiles and runs on all existing platforms. So we (the portable

Hi, When we added U2F support, we also extended the interface used by ssh and ssh-agent to invoke the $SSH_ASKPASS program. Originally, the askpass prompt was used to obtain passphrases for ssh in cases where it was not possible to read them from the terminal. Later it was (ab)used for showing confirmation prompts for each use of any key that was added to the agent using "ssh-add -c".

I just opened a bug report about this, but i thought i'd bring it to the group if anyone has any concerns about the idea: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1871 currently, ssh-askpass is used in some situations to actually ask the user for a passphrase. in other situations, it is used to prompt for simple confirmation (e.g. ControlMaster=ask, ssh-add -c).
