For Windows this means I can load the native drivers and it'll look like I've plugged the 'scope directly into the windows machine.

Can anyone explain to me what this means? IIRC there was a time when id_rsa could refer to either an RSA1 key or RSA2 key. I believe ssh is first trying to read the file as an RSA1 key, finding problems, and then opening it as an RSA2 key. In fact, if you scroll down from there you probably see a line like the following: debug1: identity file /home/somebody/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 which is a successful read (note the type is 1 and not -1). In other words, it's nothing to worry about. The messages are a bit different under CentOS 7 (I suspect you're running CentOS 6 on the client), but they say about the same thing. snip I would *strongly* recommend editing your /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and comment or delete the fallback, and replace it, like: #Protocol 2,1 Protocol 2 That way, it won't even try. mark If the problem is indeed a lookup on id_rsa for an rsa1 type key then the setting you suggest does not prevent it. All of the sshd_conf files in our CentOS-6 systems already have that set and I believe that it is the default setting for the distro. # Disable legacy (protocol version 1) support in the server for new # installations. In future the default will change to require explicit # activation of protocol 1 Protocol 2 However, your suggestion causes me to consider whether or not there is a similar setting for ssh_config. The problematic key lookup occurs on the client side of the connection. It seems unlikely that sshd server settings on client host would have much of an effect. Indeed there is no reason to suppose that sshd is even present. Respecting the other recommendations offered in various messages: These are, insofar as I can determine, already in effect. There are no AVCs reported, the ssh connections complete as expected, and there are no odd messages in /var/log/secure or /var/log/messages. The user in this case is root. The problem being debugged was automated internal network rsync transfers over ssh. All permissions, contexts and ownerships of the associated files and directories are as they were originally created by ssh-keygen. It seems to me likely that these messages are the result of code in the client application which simply reports and ploughs on when it runs into a file format it is not expecting leaving the final determination of whether or not the encounter is an error condition to somewhere later in the program. Thank you for the guidance. P.S. Also thanks for the info on SYN in ACK, . . ., SYN.

[CentOS] NFS performance on CentOS 7
I am setting up a file server with CentOS 7. I'm seeing performance which is considerably slower than a similar server running CentOS 6.6. A 3Gb directory can be copied to/from the CentOS 6.6 server in about 50 seconds. The same directory takes about 270 seconds to copy to/from the CentOS 7 system. I see the same performance difference with NFS mounted file systems or using scp, so it doesn't appear to be an NFS issue. The MTU on the NICs on both systems is 1500, and changing it to 6000 on the CentOS 7 system had no effect.

[CentOS-virt] iTunes
Hi All, I am putting together a high end workstation quote for a customer. He is going to want a Virtual Machine, specifically so he can run iTunes (his wife buys music through iTunes and sync's them to her iPod). So which VM would you guys use? KVM or Virtual Box? I am very familiar with KVM and adore it. It's USB support is kind of weird though (iPod). I have been seriously burned by Virtual Box before and do not care much for the way Oracle does things, so I would have to bite my pride if Virtual Box would be better to run iTunes. (Who knows, maybe Virtual Box has gotten better.) What do you guys think? Many thanks, -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

[CentOS-virt] KVM and USB
Hi All, On KVM, is there a way to pass USB Flash drives automatically to the guest without having to go into virt-manager and selecting the specific USB device? -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

For personal laptops or workstations, I tend to run Windows natively for the raw speed of the native apps and to get the latest drivers, and run Scientific Linux in VirtulalBox, which has worked very well. I much prefer the user interface of Virtualbox to the virt-manager suite for KVM or for Xen. It's just been easier, for me, to get tools like the VMware clients or Xencenter for managing *other* virtual environments to work well on Windows, and Outlook for Exchange servers has been critical in too many environments. SL runs very well and robustly in virtualization with all the virtualization technologies. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
