Got this in today from the SF folks; for those interested that didn't actually submit a support request. Sorry about the lousy formatting - you'd think that a site like sourceforge would be nice and wrap at 72 lines... -- George Metz Commercial Routing Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 11:30:57 -0800 From: nobody <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ 110293 ] Unable to access shell1 via SSH Support Request #110293, was updated on 2000-Dec-19 23:42 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/support/?func=detailsupport&support_id=110293&group_id=1 Category: Login Problem Status: Closed Priority: 5 Summary: Unable to access shell1 via SSH By: aphzen Date: 2000-Dec-20 11:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=171 Browser: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (Win98; U) Hi, Apologies for any troubles you've been having with the system. Re: Shell accounts, group permissions, group directories, CVS directories, CVS permissions, Mailing Lists There is currently a known sync problem. This has meant delays in creation of home, group, cvs and web directories. Similarly, it has meant delays in creation of shell accounts, addition of new users to groups and password and email address changes. We're working to resolve this problem as soon as possible. Please bear with us - the problem will be resolved very soon - we're aware that this has been recurring Re: Statistics The statistics for all projects is currently under redevelopment. This process is expected to be completed soon - however has been of a lower priority against the number of teething pains we've been having with our new servers. Re: Shell server We're also aware of the number of problems on the shell server with respect to restricitive permissions on some programs - and sourcing of shell environments. We're also aware of the troubles with scp and transferring files. As a work around, we recommend either editing files on the shell server, or scping files to the shell server from external hosts to the shell server, whilst logged in to the shell server. Re: Syncmail We're aware that syncmail is having troubles on the CVS server. This is a serverwide issue, and will be addressed. We will post followups to all of these issues on the front page as the problems are resolved. Re: SSH Fingerprints / Host Identification changed We're aware that post-Saturday both the CVS and shell server would be displaying new SSH fingerprints for our public ssh keys. These are OK! Please read the front page news article regarding the new keys. Our apologies for any inconvenience. If you still have outstanding issues that we haven't addressed -our apologies - please submit a new support request so that this may be handled. - SF Crew ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By: wolfstar Date: 2000-Dec-19 23:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=116134 Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-test11-ac4 i686; en-US; 0.6) Gecko/20001205 I am unable to access the shell servers via SSH. I've tried changing my password via the website, as well as adding my identity.pub key to the listing of authorized keys; all results are the same - I'm prompted for a password, and current or previous passwords do not work. My account was created right around the beginning of the move you're in the process of finishing. A possible problem here is that, when someone else in my project (LEAF) did: 'cat /etc/passwd | grep wolfstar' It came up blank. Whether or not this file is encrypted or obscured in some way, I don't know, but it almost appears as if there's no account for my username. Please look into this. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/support/?func=detailsupport&support_id=110293&group_id=1 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/leaf-devel
