MxEasy Security Camera Software (was Finding Library Dependencies)
So libraries aren't my problem. The MxEasy software is a security camera management and DVR software. It starts and runs just fine, except there is no video. It keeps a running count of the frames/sec coming in, so I know it's seeing the video, but when I open a window in front of it and bring MxEasy again forward, the former graphics show in the video window. It's never updated for some reason. I have several emails in to Mobotix support, but it typically takes them a long time to respond, and their Linux department is one part-time man. I would ask youall to download the software and test it, but you don't have the camera. This MxEasy deb is intended for Ubuntu 10.10, although I've installed it before and it worked. Now that I've reinstalled Debian it doesn't. Is there some way I can go about troubleshooting this? When I run it from the command-line I get several failures, although I don't understand them and they are nowhere to be found on The Internets. $ ./MxEasy mxm : Installing MxmLogHandler...

I've found libsdl1.2debian-all in Ubuntu Natty, which this software was packaged for, and the only two operative files in it are: /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.3 There is a libsdl1.2debian-all for Debian Testing, which I'm running, but it's not built for amd64 yet. There is a libsdl1.2debian-all for squeeze, and it has exactly what Natty's has. And the kicker is that libsdl1.2debian (no -all) which I have installed, has these exact files with these exact names as well. So I think the software is looking for the package name with -all, and when it doesn't find it it fails. I overrode dependencies and installed it anyway, but inexplicably it does everything but show video.

To allow passwords for remote login, makes it possible for every SSH worm crawling around out there to try and try until it gets it right. And there are lots of them. And no, they -are- effective. To disable passwords on the server and use a key, means you are asked for a password at the client, to open the key, and then once authenticated the key goes on to authenticate with the server. Scripts banging away passwords on the server can never succeed.

This makes it useless to someone else who tries to use it. The passphrase is evaluated on the client, rather than the server. Brute-force attempts can never succeed. I've also found that indeed to shut off passwords on the server it is sshd_config|PasswordAuthentication no.But you must remember that this shuts you out when on a machine that's not in the server's authorized_keys. And it's good practice to generate a key on each client and put that in the server's authorized_keys, rather than using all the same key.

I know all that. But it still will ask for a password if you do not have the key, and thus is open to brute-force.
