The servers are all RH-7.3. I thought that all that was required was:
0) on the client box, run ssh-keygen -t dsa, hit enter at all the
prompts, and i'll end up with ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
1) I then need to place the contents of that file on the server in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
2) ssh to the server, and i shouldn't be prompted for a password.
this isn't happening. i'm still prompted for a password. am i missing
something obvious?
For me, most of the time these issues almost always are related to the
permissions on the .ssh/authorized_keys file or the .ssh directory on the
destination server. For whatever reason ssh -vvv is next to near
impossible to decipher without being a ssh coder, wish there was more
meaningful text in the output of that command.
Concerning the other poster's response to format inconsistency, I've had
very little problem with that. One exception though, when copying the
public key to the .ssh/authorized_keys sometimes errant newlines get
thrown in for good measure.
I don't remember if I've posted this to the list before, but the following
is the slickest way I've seen to forward the ssh public key correctly to
a remote host. It's from a gent named Todd Jacobs who is very good at
shell scripting.

Firewall host: kernel parameter values
I've got sort of a weird issue with a firewall I manage. The thing has seven (7) interfaces, eth0 - eth6. Three of the interfaces are physcially pci ethernet nic's using the via-rhine kernel module (eth0 - eth2). The remaining four are on a quad fast ethernet card based on the Sun HappyMeal driver (sunhme) (eth3-eth6). This critter, the firewall, only does routing, NAT, ip packet filtering, and vpn (ipsec with freeswan). interface driver description eth0: via-rhine external internet interface eth1: via-rhine internal business lan eth2: via-rhine dmz for the wireless isp services we provide eth3: sunhme internal lan for showroom computers eth4: sunhme internal lan for remote service monitoring eth5: sunhme internal lan for RD eth6: sunhme internal lan for shop service work The weird issue is this, eth0 - eth3 do their job. They forward packets, do NAT, filter packets accordingly. eth4 - eth6 do not forward and/or NAT packets. I'm pretty sure that the netfilter rulesets are proper for job they need to do. I've reviewed them several times, compared them with rulesets on interfaces that do work. The review includes the shell scripts that I initially use to setup the rulesets as well as the resulting output from service iptables save and service iptables status. I am reluctant to post the results of the above here as they are all quite lengthy. One of the questions I've come up with is... Might I be coming up against kernel parameter limitations? Another thought is that there might be some issue with the Sun Quad Ethernet card that I am unfamiliar with.

Also are you using linux for ap's? Piece of cake. Running at 5.5Mb (sometimes 11Mb). Using 24dbi grid antenna w/ short (50') LMR-400 cable, you get 4 watts at the antenna (15dbi from the card, plus 24dbi antenna, minus 3 dbi drop in the cable is 36dbi == 4 watt). I could probably do better if I could actually see how well the antenna are aimed at each other. A little tuning might also help. But the link is solid. I could drop down to 1 or 2 Mbs and go over 30 miles. I use AP-3s (aka AP-2000's). They have their own system. To connect out to the Internet I use a Linux box as a router (the APs are bridges). Neat. We're providing a limited wireless ISP service to business customers only. Only two pop's so far and using Lucent's COR/ROR for the backhaul. The pop's are only 4 miles apart. The remote is experiencing a lot of noise which has steadily built up over the last two years. We're in the process of moving it now. Typical CPE is either a linux box with pci pcmica card adapter and a orinoco card (my preference) or a Cisco pix with an ethernet converter. The ap's are AP-500's. I understand about the tuning aspects.

Re: md5sum, ISO files and Redhat 8
On Tue, 15 Oct 2002, Tim Wunder wrote: OK, I'm puzzled by this. Can anyone explain? I installed RH8 from ISOs I downloaded. I verified each ISO file and they were all good. I then burned CD's 1, 2 and 3 to CDR and attempted to verify them in the following ways: 1. Performed 'diff /dev/cdrom /path/to/downloaded.iso' 2. Performed 'md5sum /dev/cdrom' 3. Performed 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/some/file.iso' and ran md5sum on /some/file.iso In each case, for all three downloads, the CDRs were deemed to be different from the ISO files. As a result, I re-burned CD1 (at a more conservative 4x instead of 8x) and performed all the same tests. It too, found the burned CDR to be different from the ISO file. I then tested the two files created from both copies of CD1, using dd, and both had the same md5sum, which was different from the source ISO file. I then made the bold assumption that two bad burns couldn't have the same md5sum and determined that the burns *must've* been ok. Which doesn't make sense either. So, I decided to try the disks anyway to see what would happen. As it turns out, RedHat provides a disk check at the beginning of the install process. I put each of the 3 disks thru redhat's disk check, and each passed the test. I then continued with the install process and managed to get RH8 installed onto 2 different machines using these disks (an AMD Athlon 950 and a K6 450). Is there any logical explanation why the md5sum of a properly burned CD of an ISO file would have a *different* md5sum than the ISO file? Until recently, I would've said no, the CDR and the ISO should have the same md5sum. But my experience with these RH8 ISOs seems to contradict that. At this point, I be interested to know if the media check option when booting from the cd would complain about the cd's you burned. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Isn't sg0 like a scanner or something similarly unrelated to CD burners? And things like tape library changers use /dev/sg* also. The sg module gets loaded as a requirement for the ide cdrom burner. On this RH 7.2 system, cdrom burning failed about 2 months ago for reasons unknown. cat /proc/scsi/scsi reveals, Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L706 Type: Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: TSL-A300CRev: L107 Type: Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 01 Vendor: SONY Model: TSL-A300CRev: L107 Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1557A Rev: U709 Type: Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: AIT-LDR Rev: L1j8 Type: Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: LG Model: CD-RW CED-8080B Rev: 1.06 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: LG Model: CD-ROM CRD-8521B Rev: 2.00 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 And if I try, [root@ocelot root]# cdrecord -dd -scanbus dev=3,0,0 dev: 3,0,0 speed: 8 fs: 2097152 Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '3,0,0' scsibus: 3 target: 0 lun: 0 scg__open() 3,0,0 it will stay at that point.

Didn't know it was stylistic. What I'd like to know is why cdrecord gets hung when doing a -scanbus on /dev/sg0? ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
Re: /boot partition and modules/kernels

I have attempted this and have been running face first into a wall when attempting to load modules... I'd be interested in hearing some pointers on this one. I believe I read it in a post by David Bandel. I've been doing this for quite some time now, sans the links to /lib/modules. Initially it was to overcome issues with LILO being able to find the kernel in large disks. Now its just habit. Interestingly, When using the custom option in the RedHat installer and the letting disk druid automatically partition the disk, the result is the same. 50mb /boot , some amount for swap, the rest for root. TIA, Matt ps. And sorry for the OT-TID thread. I didn't mean for it to get out of hand like that. No apologies required for me. I'm just sorry the thread didn't make it to the general list, sigh. ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
