Re: Authentication with SSH using public keys

Hi,

My father recently setup a new 7.0-Release system for some web development.  I 
use ssh to login remotely.  I've normally not had any trouble configuring 
authentication through public key encryption using ssh-keygen and such.  I 
have for myself a id_rsa.pub and an id_rsa key pair that I use for this 
purpose.


Normally, I just copy, via scp, the file id_rsa.pub to my 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the remote host and the next time I attempt a 
login all is well.  That is, I don't have to enter my password.  However, on 
my Dad's new machine, this isn't the case.  I still have to enter the 
password.


Now, I've looked through his /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and nothing in there 
looks odd, or different, from other remote hosts I do this on.  So, I'm 
embedding a copy/paste of an ssh login session on my father's host 
using -v -v to ssh:


[/usr/home/andy/MCH]
- ssh -v -v malumgat


[...]


debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey

debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive


It seems OpenSSH (on your dad's box) hasn't recognized your private key, so how 
about checking permissions of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and ~/.ssh on his box. Or 
how about enabling verbose logging on his box, using 'LogLevel' parameter in 
sshd_config.

I am running postfix on freebsd 7.0 using a dynamic IP address and am getting

I think that is probably due to your MTA running on a dynamic IP connection, 
which are blacklisted for abuse by spammers most of the times. How about you 
using a smarthost (probably your ISP's mail-server) to deliver your mails from

your postfix. I'm using the similar way with Postfix running on my local mail
server, relaying all outgoing mails via Google's SMTP servers.

How to use rxvt-unicode + OpenSSH

2008-08-29 Thread आशीष शुक्ल Ashish Shukla

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue related to the terminal capabilities and OpenSSH. I've 
installed x11/rxvt-unicode port on my client and server. When I login to my server 
from urxvt (running on client), I get messages related to terminal capabilities:


88
abbe [~] chateau% ssh notebook
abbe [~] monte-cristo% man ls
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
abbe [~] monte-cristo% echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode
abbe [~] monte-cristo% tic `pkg_info -xL rxvt-unicode |fgrep 
rxvt-unicode.terminfo`
88

I've also tried exporting TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo.db to the server's 
environment, but no success. I'm running zsh on both ends, compiled with ncurses 
from ports instead of base.


88
abbe [~] monte-cristo% ldd `which zsh`
/usr/local/bin/zsh:
libpcre.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x8006cd000)
libiconv.so.3 = /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x8007ff000)
libncursesw.so.5.6 = /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.5.6 (0x8009f8000)
libm.so.5 = /lib/libm.so.5 (0x800b25000)
libc.so.7 = /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800c3f000)
libtinfow.so.5.6 = /usr/local/lib/libtinfow.so.5.6 (0x800e5c000)
88-

And the surprising thing is, if I start zsh in urxvt, running on my server, it 
works fine. No such warning printing at all.


Any ideas, what is causing this ?

TIA

Kernel mode PPPoE or User mode PPPoE

2008-07-19 Thread आशीष शुक्ल Ashish Shukla

Hi

I wanted to know if I'm using user-mode PPPoE or kernel-mode PPPoE. I'm 
following the handbook[1] to setup my PPPoE interface. Is there any way I can 
figure out this ?


And what is the difference between kernel-mode PPP and user-mode PPP ?

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 (amd64).

LDAP is a real cool protocol offering a hierarchial directory like
facility. You can store anything in that directory, from user accounts,
to your GPG keys to address book to email aliases, anything for which
you're able to write a schema. You'll enjoy working with it :)

Install OpenLDAP server (openldap23-{server,client} or 
openldap24-{server,client})
from FreeBSD ports. And follow administrator's guide[1] to setup your
LDAP server. The Building an OpenLDAP address book article [2] at
ONLamp will guide you with setting up address book with OpenLDAP.

And you'll also like to try out phpldapadmin for managing LDAP directory
over web :) .

Any way to access I2C sensors in FreeBSD ?

Following is an output of 'sensors' for my box, when running on Linux:

|

|

Very basic guess,  but does your xorg.conf is reconfigured recently,
check for something like following  in xorg.conf:

---88
Section ServerLayout
Identifier single head configuration
Screen  0  Screen0 0 0
InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard
EndSection

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Keyboard0
Driver  kbd
Option  XkbModel pc105
Option  XkbLayout us
EndSection
---88

Anyways, have you tried 'xinit xterm', to see if X11 is receiving
keyboard input, without KDE ? see, if there're any suspecting error
messages, in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I've installed pdns and pdns-recursor, but I'm using pdns-recursor
only, and $pdnsd_enable is set to no. And I'm running this setup since
June, 2007.

No, I've not tried that. But, to me, it looks like filesystem is bad,
and some of the files in use by services like avahi, pdns are corrupt,
so thats why it is crashing. Is there any possiblity like such ?
Anyways, I'll boot with ACPI disabled, or even boot in single-user mode,
and repair my filesystem first.

Thanks, so I think now I can use FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT for my daily
desktop use. :)
