Subject: Openssh problem on Slackware Current
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 09:15:38 +0000 (UTC)
Hello there,
on my workstation I am running Slackware 7.x (from the slackware-current
directory on the ftp-server). This prerelease distro contains Openssh
2.5.1p2, which I installed, since I need it. However, I have a little
problem with it: when I try to access a server also running Openssh
using SSH Protocol Version 2, the public key authentication fails in
a strange way, if I haven't loaded the key in id_dsa into the ssh-agent.
What happens is, that I am asked to enter the passphrase for the key file
/home/mboen/.ssh/id_dsa, which I do. However, the passphrase is not accep-
ted, I am asked 2 times more, then the authentication falls back to
password (or interactive keayboard, or whatchamacallit) authentication.
I know that the passphrase is correct, because I can add the key to
the ssh-agent with it and I can maintain the key information for
the key using ssh-keygen.
Has anybody else seen this? Did I missconfigure something?
TIA,
Martin

Good idea to replace it :)
However gcc 2.95.2 does not compile out-of-the-box with glibc 2.2, which
RedHat 7 comes with.
So instead you could download a patched one - for example mine:
www.amagerkollegiet.dk/~moffe/
This one will compile and install fine on RedHat 7 (at least it did on
my box and a couple of others).
Good luck

Somehow, magically, the problem solved itself last night!
I think the relevant moves -- tho' I'm not sure -- were:
(a) setting linuxconf so that dns is required
(b) copying a copy of nsswitch.conf over from my unused Mandrake
7.0 partition
I've made other small changes at diverse times which might have
contributed.
I'm using Mandrake 7.2. I loved how easily it went on the system,
recognizing all the hardware and producing a beautiful gui, but
getting it to do some serious stuff like networking or gcc
required extra steps. (I may have installed the wrong setup
scenario though.)
I'm not sure what went wrong here though or what corrected it.

Yes, you can, but I found it to be rather a bother (lots of
trouble with locked files, FAT corruption, etc.). Instead, I
installed Win98 in a virtual partiton under linux and mount the
original Win98 partition as a network drive from the VMware
virtual machine. Seems to work much better that way.

You must have the telnet server installed and the inetd deamon

Subject: Re: HOW TO: XWindows Client?
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 11:31:37 -0000
Thanks for the replies.
Here are two things I did that work quite well:
Using VNC, I downloaded the binaries for Linux and Windows.
I copied the VNC binaries in my /usr/bin on my Linux server, then ran
vncserver and did a cat $home/.vnc/*.log to see what port it was listening
on.
I then ran vncviewer.exe on my Windows system to the given port and it came
up with a twm window (I normally use gdm, Gnome).
I then edited my $home/.vnc/xstartup script, commented out the twm & line,
and added /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Gnome instead.
I killed the vncserver process (vncserver -kill :1) and restarted it.
Ran vncviewer.exe on Windows and this time it came up with my Gnome session!
The other way to do it was to edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and change enable=0
to enable=1 in the [xdmcp] section.
Edited /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config and commented out the last line
(DisplayManagerRequestPort:0) with a !
I then added my Windows host IP address to /etc/X11/Xaccess and killed all
the gdm processes to restart my windows manager.
I then installed Exceed on my Windows client and connected to my Linux
server. It came up with the X login window and then on to my Gnome sessions.
Using vncserver you actually need one vncserver process per user session and
it also uses a passwd file (in the $home/.vnc dir) for credentials.
Using Exceed it uses native X authentication and any given number of clients
can connect w/out further configuration.

If you have complete backups (and, IMAO, you are nuts if you do not),
you could just reinstall everything. In the process of
re-installation, just setup all the partitions you want, and then
restore all the files from the backup. Just be careful of /etc/fstab;
you will want that to reflect your new partitions.
I find it soothing to the nerves to make two backup tapes before doing
something like this, and checking each one to be sure it compares with
what is on disk.

Your process may be stuck in state D. If this is the case, you are
screwed and will have to reboot. You can see the state by running the
top (man top) command. I would think you could get it from ps (man
ps), but I have not figured out how.

This is roughly the image but not exactly. It seems that there is still a header
in front of the image because the first 1440K contain for example the options of
mkisofs, the command the ISO filesystem on the CD was created with.
Thats why I asked for a tool that exactly extracts only the image leaving all
other iso9660 stuff alone).

No, you haven't. It's not completely obvious, but from the smbmnt(8)
man page:
smbmnt is meant to be installed setuid root so that normal users can
mount their smb shares. It checks whether the user has write
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
permissions on the mount point and then mounts the directory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So find your mount point and either chown it to yourself or chmod it
so you can write to it. (This caused me half an hour of confusion quite
some time ago....)

A few thing to try:
1) put them in fstab (man fstab)
2) use autofs, very useful if there are many host with equally named
shares, because autofs supports wildcards
3) use "sudo", it can be configured in a way that ordinary users will
not have to authenticate for a certain command
I am sure there are lots of other ways too.

yes, the full path to the module in question is..
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax.o
The old kernel (2.2.14-3) still has a directory under /lib/modules too, and
a sym link file called '/lib/modules/current' was pointing at this folder.
I changed the sym link to point at 2.4.1 but that didn't help.
# modprobe hisax
modprobe: Can't locate module hisax
# modprobe hisax.o
modprobe: Can't locate module hisax.o
If I try to load it with insmod, and point it directly at the full path to
the hisax.o file, then it sees it (although insmod complains of some unknown
symbol and doesn't load it.)

I've checked in /etc/inetd.conf file, it's UNCOMMENTED.
But how to check telnet server is installed and inetd deamon is running?

I do have wrtie permission to the mount point.
Permissions are rwxrwxr-- for root root and I am a member of the root
group...

Hello Darren,
I'm not sure this will help, but I remember I had a very hard time setting
up my ISDN modem as well.
Here is the documentation I put together at the time. I hope you will find
it useful.
**How to Intsall and Configure the USR Sportster TA ISDN Modem :
- Hardware settings are :
io=0x268, irq=7, type=16
- Install gisdnconf utility and run it as root from /usr/bin/
- Configure Hardware and ISP
- Install isdn4kutils RPM
- "vi /etc/resolv.conf"
nameserver <dnsaddress>
- "vi /etc/ppp/pap-secrets" (and chap-secrets)
client = username
server = *

If you have installed the telnet server, you should have the
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd file (or whatever is called in your inetd.conf
file).
For inetd, ps -ef | grep inetd should do the trick, in my system this
is what I get:
$ ps -ef | grep inetd
root 417 1 0 07:49 ? 00:00:00 inetd
davide 1575 1351 0 14:44 pts/1 00:00:00 grep inetd
The first line is the important one, it shows that inetd is up
and running.
