I'm migrating from C7 to C8.? I'm currently using autofs, but alas autofs has been dropped in C8 for the AMD automounter. I have some very ancient knowledge of AMD, I used it when it was first introduced many years ago on Solaris and moved to Sun's automounter when it was introduced. So now it's back to square one. I used automount2amd to convert one of my existing maps,

This is frustrating: $ export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu+ssh://remotehost/session $ virsh list error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection error: Operation not supported: Connecting to session instance without socket path is not supported by the ssh connection driver Has there been any thought given to making this easier?

Hi, Been using rsync for many years but I'm stuck with this problem. I'ts a simplistic backup using rsync from a Windows 2k3 machine to a Linux box out on the 'net, using pre-shared ssh keys. In this case I'm saving, files belonging to various users, using the administrator account on the windows machine and the destination is a normal user account and its home file area.

Hi, I found that current rsync versions do something different when using --one-file-system --relative and --delete. This has all worked as expected with the old version (in our case those delivered with RHEL4 and 5) but it doesn't work correct in the 3.0.x version. I have opened a bug at RedHat because it's at least a regression for their upgrade from EL5.6 to EL5.7 which updated to

Hi all, I've a particular host on my network that when I run; rexec -l username -p password remotehost command it just hangs. When I do; rexec -a -l username -p password remotehost command i get; Where are you? If I do; rexec -l username -p password localhostname (not just localhost but its actual name) command it works. Any ideas would be very appreciated. - aurf

I have a problem getting key authentication to work with one remote user (git), even though it works fine for the remote user "root". The remote file .ssh/authorized_keys is identical for both users - I cp'ed it from the root account to the git home dir. On local machine (OS X, by the way) I have: $ cd $ ls -l .ssh -rw------- 1 jussihirvi staff 668 Aug 24 16:13 id_rsa (the

I've setup up a single-use key on a remote host to run rsync in server mode. I've also setup .ssh/config locally with an IdentityFile to select the single-use ssh key. This works on my Debian sid machine: rsync --rsh="ssh remove_host" :: But on another machine that command (and others tried below) do not access .ssh/config. The machine is running these: $ ssh -v

I maintain a directory structure containing dirs and files that I regularly push to ~50 hosts, which are divided into 3 groups that have slightly different needs (minor mods in a couple of files). So ideally I would have 4 directories: /path/to/sync/common/ <- common files /path/to/sync/group1/ <- group1 specific only /path/to/sync/group2/ <- group2 specific only

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato), openssh-2.2.0p1 Configured with: --prefix=/usr/local/openssh --enable-gnome-askpass --with-tcp-wrappers --with-ipv4-default --with-ipaddr-display My goal here is to, as root, forward a local privileged port over an ssh tunnel to another host using a normal user's login, i.e.: root:# ssh -2 -l jamesb -i ~jamesb/.ssh/id_dsa -L 26:localhost:25 remotehost So far,

I am trying to sync several specific files over ssh. This works fine when I specify the files indivdually, a la: rsync -av --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /etc/passwd remotehost:/etc/passwd What I want to do though, is update several files at once, a la: rsync -av --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --include-from updatesys.inc remotehost: See below for updatesys.inc. The file list gets

On Windows, ?scp C:/foo/bar remotehost:? will attempt to connect to a remote host ?C? and access file ?/foo/bar?. There is currently no syntax or flag to allow copying files that start with a drive name. This patch changes the behaviour (only on Cygwin) by considering that a single letter followed by a colon is a Windows drive name and thus an absolute path. This is also more consistent with the

The RHL 6.2 command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start" prevents clean logout from compiled version of OpenSSH-2.5.1p1 on all hosts. The command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop" is OK. This occurs for interactive or command line requests. ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop --- works every time ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start --- hangs every time Control-C will

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the correct syntax to scp between two remote hosts with non-defaults ports. <scp -P 1234 user at remotehost:/sourcefile -P 4321 user at remotehost:/destfile> No matter what i've tried i cant get scp to connect both servers with different ports. Is this even possible? The workaround i've found is to use <ssh... "scp..."> Thanks,

I seem to have found a bug in 5.8p1. I work remotely, and use three SSH tunnels, two of the form ssh -L port:host:destport -f -N -q -l remoteuser remotehost, and one of the form ssh -D port -f -C -q -N -l
