Hello, Questions, observations, and curiosities. Maybe this is something stupid or maybe I'm doing something wrong... But... In light of the Kurt Seifried paper on SSH and SSL, I was looking for the finger prints on my various servers and known hosts files to have a little crib sheet and maybe plug the list into a database on my palm pilot. I found that ssh-keygen lists out the

Ok... This could be cockpit error, but I just don't see it. I've installed OpenSSH 2.1.0 and I can't get X11 forwarding to work. I don't recall having this problem under 1.2.3, but I don't use X11 forwarding often enough to really say that I actually saw it work either. Both sides are running OpenSSH-2.1.0-1 installed from rpm. The client side is running RedHat Linux 6.1

All, This may be a simple question, but I can't find the answer... The situation... Clint "C" connects to server "S". On server "S" I can find the client IP (IPv6) address in the SSH_CLIENT environment variable. I also need the client public key. On the client side, the public key ends up added to .ssh/known_hosts but what happens on the server side? I

Hello all! I didn't see anyone else reply to this, but I also didn't see anything show up on the OpenSSH development list (Cc'ed here). There is a patch call out right now for the pending release of 2.4.0. I'm wondering if anyone is aware of this and if it's already been covered in 2.4.0? Please reply to list and original poster... ----- Forwarded message

Hmmm... You guys aware of this project to incorporate Smart Cards into ssh-agent? I remember hearing about some stuff for OpenSSL, but I don't recall hearing about this on the OpenSSH list or on the Muscle list. This would be a really nice thing... :-) Mike -- Michael H.

All, How can I get at the daily snapshots? When I go to the website, www.openssh.com, and follow the Linux link to portable.html and then go to request the daily snapshot from http://bass.directhit.com/openssh_snap/, I get prompted for a user id and password. Needless to say, I ain't got. That's real useful. Use to be, I could get the snapshots from the ftp site. Then things

I''m building a 10 branch/1 headquarter network with Shorewall/Linux as gateway on all locations. The TI guy asked me if there is a way to ''cache'' TCP/UDP traffic between them. I crawled on Internet and I only find very expensive solutions for this. Some of them appeared in this comparison article: http://www.networkcomputing.com/showitem.jhtml?docid=1524f5 Does anyone

This is my first time posting on this list, so please excuse me if this is the wrong list to post on (if it is please just let me know). I've recently upgraded my old Redhat 8.0 box to Redhat Fedora Core 8 which comes with Samba 3.x while my old Redhat 8.0 box had Samba 2.x. On my old box I had SMB map a drive from an older OpenVMS server using Pathworks. I performed this by simply doing:

Is there a limit to the number of files that can be seen through SAMBA Shares. We currently have approximately 120,000 files (and growing) under business related shares under our current Pathworks environment. With being in the process of transferring over to SAMBA we need to ensure that all the files are viewable. It may be advisable to split these shares across several disks on our UNIX

Hi, I am looking for a list of theses special magic numbers that a samba server (or a windows box) registers with at a wins server. I already know of <00> as a ordinary name, <1b> as a domain. But what's the rest? Is there a list anywhere? Perhaps somewhere in the docs? I have searched them but haven't found anything yet. Thanks, Christopher --
