As an experiment I set up Challenge/response authentication on a Linux system with PAM using a pam_opie module (this module works fine with console logins and su). I can log into the box using the opie password, *but* it does not give me the challenge - which can make things a little tricky :-) I can well believe this might be a fault in the PAM pam_opie module I am using, so has anyone got

I appear to have a broken filesystem on this box to the point where I am probably going to rebuild the system since I have lost trust in it.... I was wondering if there was any reasonable postmortum work I could do on it before it gets rebuilt. History is that the laptop has a much mauled partition set on it - initially it came with 100% win2k, I then shrunk that and added linux (a RH71 install

I'd been hoping to move all of our site to ssh protocol 2 whilst we are still small enough to do this without serious pain, however the lack of authentication and connection forwarding is making that difficult at present. I see the current (2.2.0p1) code base does not have the code on either client or server side for ssh2 to handle tunneled connections or authentication agent. Is this

Long ago, when I wrote the ssh config file on my desktop box, ssh (which might have been the non-openssh one) took 3 possible values for the StrictHostKeyChecking option - yes, no & ask. Today, when I attempted to connect to a new machine, with no DNS entries (so using IP address) from my desktop box, ssh (now 2.3.0p1) SEGVed. Looks like there is some subtle interaction between having an

Has anyone tried LFS (ie >2G files support) and Ext3 together? Are there good reasons why this should/should not work? I see the RH enterprise kernel patch set specifically does not attempt both lfs and ext3, but the lfs patches themselves touch some reasonably localised parts of ext2, so I would hope (without having dived in there to test), that the ext3 changes would mirror that

This appears to be rather poorly supported compared to the rsa key equivalent... The man page implies that ~/.ssh/authorized_keys & ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 are similar format. In fact the code will only read DSA keys from the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file - the options entries are not supported, and putting options in causes key recognition to fail. I guess ideally the key reader needs

I'm looking at running an ext3 filesystem on top of a loopback AES encrypted device, which in turn is on top of a raw partition (so no other things in the way that should be reordering writes). Are there likely to be any strange issues with using ext3 in this way? Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@InTechnology.co.uk ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and

What are the filesystem requirements for dovecot - for example I see some people are running with atime updates switched off (as I intend to do so myself), so presumably dovecot has no need of an accurate atime implementation. How about directory atime? ctime/mtime etc? I'm intending to run on a linux box using local disk, so am currently considering using reiserfs (3.6) with noatime,

I've currently got a couple of boxes which obtain their IP address via DHCP, and as a consequence do not have a mapping in /etc/hosts for their own IP/name... but helpfully (!) they have their name mapping to 127.0.0.1 This breaks X authentication... - openssh (and also ssh) makes an apparently valid xauth entry, but all attempts to start clients gives "X11 connection rejected

Hi, To to build an RPM from the nut 2.0.3 source I've corrected the old nut.spec.in file. Please find a copy of the slightly updated spec file attached. The changes are documented at the bottom of the spec file.

Has anyone worked with getting dovecot to work in a HA cluster using heartbeat? If so do you have any magic startup scripting or other special sauce? [I'll be playing with this over the next couple of days, although concentrating on pop for our requirements. I can post any scripting I produce] Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham at InTechnology.co.uk ] [ -

I managed to install 0.5d today. Got all 3 of my mounts converted (even '/' though it was a pain in the ass). Now on boot, I see: mounted /dev/hda1 on / EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode and the exact same thing for /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb1. they all come up and appear to be working. so is this normal? Or did I manage to screw up somewhere? -- Douglas J. Hunley (Linux User

Just fired up a test machine on its first 2.4 kernel - specifically 2.4.9-ac16 (includes ext3 0.9.6). Had also upgraded e2fs tool set to 1.23. This box has previously had 2.2 kernels with Stephen's ext3 patches, and looks like it was last rebuilt from scratch in early March. I suspect it may have an old version 1 format journal on the filesystems. [Unfortunately I managed to destroy the

I have a question regarding a thread in June called "Distinct transactions", which I have included below. It seems to me that the solution is not atomic for daemons opening the file as there is a moment where the filename is not in the directory (i.e. unlink then link). In summary, poster Charlie Woloszynski wanted to update a configuration file in a safe manner (i.e. as a

Hello! I'm using i868 (Pentium III) machine running Windows 2000 and running Linux, installed on dedicated partition, in parallel via VMWare. Linux config is RedHat 7.0 (kernel ) As I'm pretty new to Linux, I'd like to know exact procedure how to install ext3 filesystem support (also which packages do I need). My kernel config is as follows: kernel-headers-2.2.14-5.0

Hello, I am using kernel version 2.4.7-10 I upgraded one of the ext2 partition to ext3. the partitions are nearly empty. I ran a program to create empty files, having names in lexicographical order. The time taken to create empty files (100 .. 100000) is same on an ext2 partition and a ext3 partition. Can anyone pls. tell me why there is no difference in the time taken. Is the htree algo.

Hi, I just started testing ext3 and perhaps I missed some docs explaining how to convert system partition other than /, like /usr for example . As I have 2 Linux versions on my test machine, I managed to convert /usr by entering the mount -o journal=NNN command from the second OS, but I don't like it. Any suggestions or docs to look at? Thanks in advance Vieri

Fellow riders of the bleeding edge of ext3 technology, I've been playing with ext3 on my workstation. For the most part it has worked very well, but right now I have a non-functional system. I've got patches out the wazoo on this kernel - 2.2.18 + Alan's 2.2.19pre13 + ext3-0.0.6a + i2c-2.5.5 + lm_sensors-2.5.5 + udf-0.9.3. Here is the output I get: EXT3-fs: WARNING: recovery

Hello, I downloaded yesterday the Red Hat 6.2 RPMs for openssl and openssh from one of the official mirrors. I could install them on a stock Red Hat 6.2 box because rpm -Uvh says (quoting from memory...): cannot install because there is dependency conflict between this rpm (openssh core) and the version of rpm and rpmlib that you are using...... In other words, the rpm packages generated
