Dear All, i have the following setup CentOS 5 server running as a primary DNS server for a long time and is working perfectly fine the server is on public IP and we have abt 5 zones apart from the reverse n local zone now our sister company have recently setup their own DNS and we are supposed to use it. earlier our cleints were using a host file now on my master dns server in /etc/named.conf

The way things are now, input_userauth_request() calls the authmethod, and then does a bunch of checks, like the special case for root. If an authmethod requires a challenge-response conversation, these checks are skipped, unless they are duplicated by the authmethod. For example, in auth2-chall.c, some of the code is duplicated (logging, sending the reply), but the root special case is skipped.

Hi, I downloaded setupssh-7.3p1-2.exe for Windows x64. I created private public keys and set it up accordingly. After entering the passphrase, I see authentication succeeded message but then the connection to the remote host gets closed immediately. Some of the Client output: ************************ ... Enter passphrase for key '/home/user2/.ssh/id_rsa': debug1: Authentication

Hello. I've got a question about encoding in sshd's log files. When I try to log in with a "?" username, which is a cyrillic "h" (U+0445), I get this message in a logfile: input_userauth_request: invalid user \\321\\205 [preauth]. I am struggling to understand: is that hex, is that octal? It doesn't map to any encoding that I know of.

A bit more then a curiosity. Mobing from Samba/NT to Samba/AD i'm now switching some 'one-purpose' (mostly containers) from libpam-ldaps to libpam-krb5. In these box normally i don't need user access, so i create 'manually' (eg, in /etc/passwd) only the admin users, and i add only the PAM layer to do external auth. Still i use ssh keys for direct root access, but as an

We have been noticing flurries of sshd reject messages in which some system out there in the hinterlands hits us with a flood of ssh login attempts.

All: I have a problem connecting Openssh 3.0.2p1 on Solaris 8 using hostname authentication for non-root users. When I connect to the sshd from a second machine as root it works fine using HostbasedAuthentication, but it always fails with non-root users. I suspect that I am having a permissions problem somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can figure out where. Any and all help

When using PAM to do password authenticaion the attempt/failure counter appears to be getting confused. This is using a rh62 system with the openssh-2.9p2-1 rpms... On the client side...

Hello. Recently I discovered some kind of exploit of openssh used against me. For configuration info, I am using Mandrake 8.2 with the openssh package openssh-3.1p1-1mdk. Fortunately, I was at least somewhat security-aware, and have an AllowUsers parameter in my sshd config file. I Used to allow only public key logins, but ditched that when I found myself needing access from multiple places. I
