hi Ran,
cool down man! take a break from it for a while then
continue to work on it once you are cooled.
as far as i know, openssh by default installed as base
system on mdk8 now. i have the following on my system:
openssh-2.5.2p2-3mdk
openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-3mdk
openssh-server-2.5.2p2-3mdk
if they are not on your system yet, do 'rpm -Uvh
rpmfile' from your mdk8 cd.
i think that putting 'sshd: ALL' on the
/etc/hosts.deny file effectively denies all SSH
connection to your host server. instead of that you
should put it on your /etc/hosts.allow. the following
is an exerpt on the man pages of hosts.allow and
hosts.deny:
·Access will be granted when a (daemon,client) pair
matches an entry in the /etc/hosts.allow file.
·Otherwise, access will be "denied" when a (dae
mon,client) pair matches an entry in the
/etc/hosts.deny file.
·Otherwise, access will be granted.
ok, ill not pretend to be an expert in SSH. ill just
share with you how i troubleshoot my SSH connections.
for troubleshooting purposes, i put ALL:ALL first on
my /etc/hosts.allow. this is to test the connectivity
without any restrictions.
ssh -v -l dianne scurf
ssh has the -v option to show you whats going on when
you are trying to connect to a remote host or a
localhost. it gives you in detail where your
connection is failing. once i get it to work, then i
put back the restrictions in /etc/hosts.allow or
/etc/hosts.deny file.
the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config file is the file that
controls the ssh deamon on a particular server. take a
look at the current restrictions if any. sometimes the
answers to all questions why this or that fails is on
that file.
hope that helps! have a good day.
dianne
