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

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

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

Hey there, I downloaded the Kernel Source 2.2.17 from the ext3 site, however I can't seem to figure out how these rpm's work (I don't like RPM's and I rather not use em either :-( no offense :-)) and I kinda miss the good old simple .tgz files which show me where they extract and I can compile myself n stuff. Anyways I tried rpm -iv <package name> then some stuff happened

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

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

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

Is there any more docs on this other then the blurb on beta.redhat.com? I got a spare non-critical victim err... test machine I want to try this on and have all the RPMS, but would really like to chew on a little more detail before I leap.

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

I want to convert the last of my filesystems to ext3. The only one left is /boot. It is not very big however, only about 10MB itself. Any recommendations on what size journal to put a /boot filesystem of only 10-20MB? Oh, BTW: "tunefs -j -J size=..." is awesome. No more gyrations with dd, chattr, lilo -R, etc. Nice! One note however: even in Stephen's 1.20.WIP.sct-20010216

Greetings, I'm running OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, and OpenSSL-0.9.6a, on BSD/OS 4.0. Following the FAQ, I added the following line to my sshd_config in order to enable X11 forwarding: X11Forwarding yes Now openssh is disconnecting my sessions immediately after authentication and login with the following error messages: "error: socket: Protocol not supported" "Disconnecting: Command

Hello, I moved my ssh servers to openssh and installed: openssh-1.2.1pre25 via .rpm My problem is that X11 forwarding doesn't work. -/etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 I start sshd with defaul port and can connect to the server and then: $ xosview X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

The openssl rpm needs to be installed on the system *before* the openssh-server rpm is installed. This is because the openssh-server's post script does the host key generation. As it is now, the command rpm -U openss* intended to install openssh* and openssl* will report that the host key generation failed. Fix: change PreReq: openssh chkconfig >= 0.9 to PreReq: openssh chkconfig

Hi, I don't know if this is the approriate place to post it. But it really annoying me. My ssh connection times out every 10 minutes or so and I want it to keep open for like 3 hours so that I don't have to relogin. However, I cannot find an option to change this!! In the Secure SSH we have a option called IdelTimeout to deal with this but OpenSSH seems to totally ignore this option. Can

Hello, I am using OpenSSH 1.2.1 on Solaris 2.6. I am using X forwarding intensively. During work OpenSSH creates display like `hostname`:10. Is it securely?? Why not 127.0.0.1:10 or localhost:10 ? Best regards Sergey Khorev.

I have looked into the spec file for the openssh rpm. In the %preun stanza, I noticed that the currently running sshd is stopped only when removing the package. On the other hand, it is theoretically possible that a new version of openssh may install files which would make the old sshd misbehave. So I think, it is better to stop sshd every time the package is upgraded. Also, the %post stanza

I'm sure there is a rationale for binding the ssh client to a priviledged port. (Which?) However there are several drawbacks to this: o It breaks firewall rules that assume that user connections start at port > 1024 or > 32768. o It breaks monitoring software using the same assumptions. o Every suid program is a separate evil (caused by the flawed security model in most unices).
