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

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.

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

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.

Stephen et al, You may remember me raising the point that the new e2fsprogs (1.25 as I remember) griped about old journals not having all the appropriate fields zeroed. I've just discovered that the RH 7.2 installer produces journals (ie on partitions created as ext3 from within the installer) that flag these warnings with a modified 1.25 e2fsck (the mods being to clear the errors rather

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

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'm facing a silly problem right now. I've installed samba 2.2.8a on a linux box, which is running SuSE 8.0 with a 2.4.20 kernel. The problem is that the performance of the samba installation is quite poor on this system. As we tried to figure out what the reason is, we saw that the smbd daemon is running with a cpu usage up to 98%. That seemed strange to me and I have no clue

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

Greetings, I've recently upgraded from Asterisk 1.2 to 1.4. I've been searching for a solution, but am also trying the easy way at the same time. I've now got David of Cepstral now speaking using app_swift from http://www.mezzo.net/asterisk/app_swift.html . The problem is, he sounds way worse than he did when it was asterisk version 1.2. I'm seriously considering either

Hi, Thank you very much for creating and maintaining dovecot! In my scenario, I want to use the password hash algorithms provided by libsodium: https://download.libsodium.org/doc/ So my difficulty is to have dovecot support libsodium's hash algorithms, particularly: crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_str On the sodium maillinglist I asked for help and received an adjusted dovecot code,

Recently our sysadm accidentally powercycled our server (RedHat8) after 198 days of uptime, and upon boot it insisted on checking one partition (/dev/sda7) in our RAID. When it was done, the files were in the state of August 23 last year, with anything newer either gone or invisible. I guess something went wrong with journaling data. What can I do to restore the current state (except restore from

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

We've noticed our fully-virtualized KVM guests' time keeps getting faster, despite running ntpd. A quick google reveals this to be a known problem with virtual guests. It seems there are a variety of solutions, some apparently vendor-specific. What is the best practice as of now for KVM guests? * Setting independent_wallclock=1 (or is that a xen-only thing)? * Passing kernel

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. X connection to servername.de:10.0 broken (explicit kill or

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

Hi, I am running FC4 with postfix/dovecot/amavisd-new etc on my box with 50 staff email accounts (say 10 per 5 departments)... everything is working ok... I want to create 5 more accounts for each department (to be redirected to respective staffs, e.g. sales at xyz.com) as well one for everyone... that can be easily done by creating an account and modifying the .forward file in the

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.
