Give this a try...
as per the INSTALL file, in OpenSSH-2.1.1p2:
- --snip--
To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so
manually using the following commands:
ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ""
ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
Replacing /etc/ssh with the correct path to the configuration directory.
(${prefix}/etc or whatever you specified with --sysconfdir during
configuration)
- --snip--
I just compiled this, and it worked for me. give it a try.

Hi,
It depends of the manner you try to access to your DAT.
You can neither mount it, nor "cd" to it.
You can just do a tar, dd, cpio, dump

Apparently not. When I try to mount /dev/hda5 as type ntfs, mount tells me
that /dev/hda5 has the wrong major or minor number.
/sbin/fdisk -l clearly shows /dev/hda5 as being type HPFS/NTFS, so I don't
really know what mount is trying to tell me. Maybe I don't have kernel
support for NTFS? Redhat 6.2 is Linux 2.2.14-5.0.

Hi
I have previously used RH (5.2, 6.1, 6.1), but have just installed
Mandrake 7.1. I have one serious problem: Back space works _fine_ in
Mandrake in a xterm, but if I ssh from the same xterm to our main
computer, which is an SGI, back space no longer does what I want it to
do and I need to use Ctrl-h.
How do I make back space work on the SGI as well? I had no problems with
the RH distributions.

James,
sounds like you're getting left over modules hanging around.
You're obviously doing all this as root from /usr/src/linux. You should
see a subdirectory 'modules', cp this to (e.g.) 'modules.safe'. Also cp
'/lib/modules/<ver>' to '/lib/modules/<ver.safe>' (or some such similar
idea). Then run make xconfig (this will create a new, empty, modules
subdirectory), then make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make
modules_install. It could be that make clean clears the modules
directories but I always make sure.
If you don't actually change the config in make xconfig and just save and
exit, then you shouldn't need to redo make bzImage. But if things have
been hanging around previously it might be as well to go through all the
steps so you *know* that the kernel has been compiled with all the correct
dependencies etc.
Sounds like you know about making sure lilo.conf is correct and then
running /sbin/lilo and you should be away.

Subject: Red Hat LILO Problem
Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2000 09:36:08 GMT
Everywhere it is written how to add Linux to an existing Windows PC,
but how do you add Win98 to an existing Linux PC. I installed a second
hard drive on the secondary IDE port, and installed Windows 98 on it by
disabling the primary IDE port in BIOS. I then enabled the primary IDE
port again and booted into Linux. I then tried to configure LILO to
give the option of booting the Windows 98 drive, but when I boot the PC
and choose Win98 in LILO nothing happens, the PC just sits there. Is
what I am trying to do possible, or does Windows have to be on the
first hard drive.
What will happen if I swap the IDE ports for the hard drive and run an
upgrade of the Linux installation. Will all my files on the Linux drive
be preserved in this way??
Any tips would be appreciated.

Try mapping one key as Mode_Switch to make it perform like the AltGr on
the German keyboard. On my system (standard German 104 key PC keyboard)
this looks like this:
[sh @ snell] ~ 1 % xmodmap -pm
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Multi_key (0x6d)
mod1 Meta_L (0x40)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
mod3 Mode_switch (0x71)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this is the AltGr key (use "xev" to find out keysyms)
mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74)
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
Kind regards

I have tried to do the same thing in the past but I gave up. It seems
that the HD with Windows does indeed have to be on the primary

Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2000 12:29:27 +0200
Hi there!
Question: I'm trying to install php4 with apache 1.13.13 on RedHat Linux
6.2, but I cannot get it working.
I am following the exact instructions in the INSTALL manual and what
everyone in the newsgroups is writing:
I've downloaded the php4 and apache files and unpacked them in a dir /temp.
Then:
cd /temp/apache
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
cd /temp/php4
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=/temp/apache --enable-track-vars
cd /temp/apache
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --activate-module=src/modules/php4/li
bphp4.a
this goed well. But when I try to make it:
...
a lot of output
...
===> src/modules/php4
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'all'. Stop.
make[3]: *** [all] Error 1
make[2]: *** [subdirs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/temp/apache/src'
make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/temp/apache'
make: *** [build] Error 2
The thing is the file /temp/apache/src/modules/php4/libphp4.a doesn't exist.
But the manual says it shouldn't and it will be created during the make
process. Somehow I think something's wrong here.
Please help! Thanks!

You run fsck on a filesystem, not a device. until you run mke2fs there

It depends what you are using the router for. You can turn any
Linux machine into a router but of course it won't be advanced
as say a Cisco router.
Just use the route command that I am sure you have used before
or see man route.
You may have the routed package installed on your system
(locate routed |more) and that maybe what you want. I am sure
there is a lot of information of this package on the net. Have a
poke around freshmeat.net
If you want your box to be a gateway machine for your network
going out into the external world then you can use IP-Chains
which is a firewall package and you can masquerade your address.
I have done this and wvdial that I use to dial-up automatically
adds in a route to route external traffic to the net.
If you need any help doing this please email me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
HTH and good luck,
David Ramsden

Hi There,
I want to setup a linux system to act as a mailserver for my LAN. I've
installed RedHat 6.2 and qpopper and qmail to send / receive messages. This
works well locally.
But now I want the system to connect to the internet once in let's say half
an hour to send the outgoing messages to the net en download the incoming
messages with POP3 from my ISP.
I use a 3COM ISDN LAN modem for my network to connect to the internet, which
uses NAT.
How should I do this?

This isn't LILO's fault! Cliff forgot to run it-- hard to blame LILO
for that!
Not sure why your boot disk doesn't work, but you could try to skip the
boot floppy step by following David ..'s suggestion: boot the
installation/rescue disk or installation CD; type "rescue
root=/dev/whatever" at the boot prompt; and run lilo from there. I
haven't been able to get this to work (for some reason it won't mount
the right partitions) but it might work for you. Note that this is
different from using the mini-shell (ash I think it's called) because
you're trying to get it to mount your file systems instead of the
RAMDISK file system.

Two possibilities:
- the links are the problem-- if everything is mounted where it should
be, you shouldn't need them.
- the RAMDISK file system has an older version of lilo, which has a
1024-cylinder limit. Make sure you're running the one on your disk.

This was found:
Cylinder 0- 260 2047 MB OK FAT16 partition. In partition table.
Cylinder 261- 521 2047 MB FAT16 partition damaged by DOS fdisk.
Cylinder 522- 782 2047 MB Nothing found so far.
Cylinder 783-1245 3631 MB Various Linux partitions.
The (lost) partition tables in the Linux area are completely wrong.
Assuming the lost Windows D: partition was in the area cylinder
261-521, you damaged it by attempting a recover using DOS fdisk. Just
entering the fdisk create partition screen will do the damage. About
2000 sectors (512 bytes each) in a 32 MB area are damaged.
A repair of D: that will provide access to not damaged files might be
possible. I however would recommend that the lost files are copied to
another partition using a recovery tool. My Cyldir tool can do it.
To list the files cylinder 261-521, you can do this:
cyldir 1 261 1 2 256 32 512 cdir.txt resume.txt
It is not quite certain that the number of entries in the root
directory (512) is correct. The main challenge when using Cyldir for
copying files, is to make sure that the target partition is OK, and
that no lost files (including old copies) can be in the area of the
target partition.
A new copy target FAT partition could be made in the area cylinder
522-1245. If the area cylinder 522-782 should be used for this, it
should first be verified that no lost data is in this area.
Do not use fdisk.exe for anything until this case is solved.
I will mail you.
A note to others that might use Findpart to locate partitions:
Cylinders are numbered from zero. Linux fdisk numbers from 1 by
default. Also note that if recovery is attempted using Linux fdisk,
entries for logical partitions must be made correct in first attempt.
Writing an extended partition table at a wrong location can damage
data.

I agree. In fact, if you're using SCSI emulation, there's no need at all
to keep the IDE CD driver. IDE peripherals such as a Zip or a CD-RW
will both show up as SCSI devices and can be accessed as such (I'm
doing that here with both).
