with every module compiled, detect hardware and update rc.local
accordingly), but still - what a step toward the desktop!

[OT] Sorry and EndOfThread (was Re: Supermount)

2000-01-19 Thread Yedidya Bar-david

Hi

I am terribly sorry. I obviously shouldn't reply to mail at 02:00 AM,
maybe not even read it.
For some unknown reason, I got the impression that ira said that
the Makefile has mandrake's copyright, something which he didn't
say at all (he said they put their copyright on a perl script
named supermount, which they obviously wrote since the author
didn't).
I have nothing against mandrake, Ira - I never even saw it. I am
sure they are fine people.
Also, as I said, sorry for the old-buggy-notY2Kcompliant elm
I am using, but that is what math.tau has and what I am used to
(they are installing a newer one).
I will try not to post in the next few weeks, as I say too much
nonsence, and also elm is broken.
Still, if the story about the internal format of rpm helped anyone,
I am happy.

ssh setup

2000-01-19 Thread Subba Rao


I have installed ssh2 on linux. On NT I am using ssh-1.2.14 win32 client.
When I try to connect to the Linux box with the following command:

$ ssh my host

The connection gets dropped and the following messages are entered into
the syslog.

Jan 19 08:24:04 myhost sshd[8365]: connection from "10.2.9.21"
Jan 19 08:24:04 myhost sshd[8531]: Remote host disconnected: Connection closed by 
remote host.
Jan 19 08:24:04 myhost sshd[8531]: connection lost: 'Connection closed by remote host.'

Are there any incompatiblities between ssh1 and ssh2, clients and servers? The NT 
clients
are putty and TTermPro.

I have generated the keys on both Linux and NT. How are these keys to be used to
for encrypted tunnel?

Thank you in advance.

 Yes. ssh1 and ssh2 are incompatible. SecureCRT and DataFellow's
 F-Secure both support SSH2 in their latest versions, but both are
 time-limited trials. The change in ssh2, as I know, is that packets
 are signed, making it impossible for a man-in-the-middle insertion
 of packets, but that was also fixed in ssh1 after CORE-SDI found
 it. So, just go and download OpenSSH. It's more secure, and both
 TeraTerm+SSH and Putty work great with it.
 
  I have generated the keys on both Linux and NT. How are these keys to be used to
  for encrypted tunnel?
 
 Upon installing ssh, a private/public key pair is generated.
 The private key is essential for encryption:
 for decrypting, what was encrypted with the public key
 (which is sent to the user each time he/she connects).
 
 Your private/public key pair is yours personally.
 You can append the public key to the .ssh/authorized_keys file
 in your home directory (on Un*x) and then you could use the
 matching private key to connect to your account without a password.
 Read man ssh(1) for more details on authorized_keys.
 

Thanks for replying. I have downloaded the OpenSSH and OpenSSL (prerequisite
for OpenSSH). The installation went fine.

I have several questions about the public/private keys. When I used the ssh-keygen,
the keys were generated. I am assuming you use one of these keys with the ssh client.
The clients I will use are on Win95/NT and OS/2.

Do I copy these keys and put them in the ssh clients directory?

When I tried to start sshd, I got the following message.

error: Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key: No such file or directory

I did not see any info about ssh_host_key in the ssh or sshd man pages. What
is this key and how do I fix it?

These keys are not requrired, unless you want to login without a password.

  The ssh_host_key (private key) identifies your host, to prevent (to some 
extent) man-in-the-middle attack. The public key that goes with it is
transferred to the client automatically upon connection and is stored (the
first time) in the .ssh/known_hosts file. Your problem is ssh is not setup
correctly, and I suggest re-running "make install" from the disrtibution
directory (after doing "configure" and "make" ofcourse).

Subject: Re: Mandrake 7.0 (another thread)

Have you tried this automount tool?

actually, it's a little annoying (but good for newbies) because, you know
how in winblows whenever you go to my computer it checks accesses the cd,
well here it does this also but i can't really figure out when (for example
when i use locate).

 Linux detects your hardware and installs it correctly?

RedHat's sndconfig (/usr/bin/setup) detected my Ensoniq 1371
flawlessly and modified conf.modules. Ethernet devices it
configures too. I think those were in RedHat before 6.x.

well actually it looks like a gui interface for sndconfig. but, it's very
nice how they did it:
they have a program that detects your hardware and then you can press on the
soundblaster and click install. it then runs that gui interface to sndconfig
(when you press test then you hear the same old "hello this is linus...".

other than that, the install is quite buggy, i discovered. i tried to
install it yesterday on my mom's computer which has one windows partition
and that's it.
1. mandrake didn't like that and said that there were no available
partitions which means it's a little too winblows users friendly - it won't
let someone install linux over his winblows!?! so i used the redhat
installation to create the linux and swap partition.
2. it was a text based installation (which makes me wonder if mine was the
gui installation?). They apparently didn't think too many people would get
this installation because it looks like they didn't even test it. i couldn't
use expert mode because it kept crashing with signal 11(?) right before the
individual package choosing.
3. during the installation of the packages it showed output of processes
every once in a while. weird.

but i still think it's very cool and i highly recommend it.
