Please, try to avoid that. If the mail doesn't show up in the
mailing list after a serious amount of time, say an hour or so,
you can mail it to me, ok?
I am still having a terrible time with the mailing list. I think part of the problem
is with deja.com. They just switched their mailserver to bigmailboxes.com which red
hat considers to be a spamer. The servious also seems to be loosing half the emails
sent by the red hat server. For example, I found Corina's last reply in the mail
archive. It never showed up in my mailbox! Does anybody have any suggestions for
other on line mail account? I see that some of the people on the mailing list are
using yahoo.

Huh? That's a shell, no home directory. The home directory is the
field before the shell.
I went to the administrator tools and renamed the administrator account to johnl.

You started ssh-config once, so .ssh (a directory) should exist.
At least when you started ssh-config as john1.
You know what I mean by ~administrator? It's the home of the user
administrator. In you case it's the home of user john1.
I deleted /etc/ssh* and $HOME/.ssh , and then reran ssh-config. I have permission
to delete and create these files, is that what you mean? I can't really read the
contents of the various files to decipher the meaning.
Other things I have done:
I have tried all 4 cominations of yes and no for the following 2 lines in sshd_config:
######################
# To install for logon to different user accounts change to "no" here
RSAAuthentication no
# To install for logon to different user accounts change to "yes" here
PasswordAuthentication yes
####################
regardless of what I do, when I run sshd -d and ssh -v localhost, I still get
permision denied. I have also changed the password using the passwd command, and used
that same password on the login from ssh.
I don't understand the meaning of the following lines in /etc/passwd
############
Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
Guest::501:513:,S-1-5-21-762067976-532226374-1540833222-501::/bin/sh
johnl::500:513:,S-1-5-21-762067976-532226374-1540833222-500::/bin/sh
johnl2::1001:513:,S-1-5-21-762067976-532226374-1540833222-1001::/bin/sh
TEX::1000:513:Steve Stewart,S-1-5-21-762067976-532226374-1540833222-1000::/bin/sh
############
I assume that these are hash values of the password I entered manually.
During the ssh-config, I was prompted twices to enter a phrase, I entered the password
for johnl, as the phrase.
It still doesn't work. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Clark Sims
