Re: OpenSSH Login Problems / CheckInstall .deb package?

2007-10-26 Thread Jeffrey Rolland

Jack,

Thanks again, that allowed me to uninstall xmame as well.

OK, so I got openssh debuilt and dpkg'ed, but I still have the  
problem with md5 keys. The error message changed: it is now  
"Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with- 
mic,password)."; it used to be "Permission denied  
(publickey,password).". But it is still fundamentally the same error  
- no md5 key support on the ssh server - I believe.


When I was debuild-ing openssh, I believe the configure phase  
produced something like:


--md5-keys: no

(It all happened so fast, and I didn't think to save the whole  
configure dialog).


Does anyone know how to install md5 support for crypt on Debian (all  
I found searching the packages was support for perl libraries and the  
like), or, better yet, does anyone have any experience configuring  
the ssh server in Debian? I should probably post this to the debian- 
user list, and I will if I get no response here.


Thanks for all the help so far.

Sincerely,

The recommended solution is to

So it's time to learn something new:

$ sudo apt-get install debuild
$ apt-get source openssh
$ cd openssh-X.X
$ joe/vi/emacs/nano/pico debian/rules

scroll to the part of the script with the options passed to ./configure. 
Add the options you need.


$ sudo apt-get build-dep openssh
$ debuild -us -uc -b

And you'll have .deb packages ready to install.
You might want to edit debian/changelog by adding a new entry with a new 
version name, so that it won't conflict with Debian's original packages. 
Be careful with the formatting, it's quite picky!


Since you're activating an option, you might need development packages to 
this library that are not in the standard set of libraries required by 
the original Debian package: you can edit debian/control and edit the 
build-depends section to include these packages.


The Debian documentation can help you a lot
  

Jack,

Thanks for this fantastic set of directions!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I had a big presentation to give 
in seminar this week, and this is the first chance I've had to implement your 
suggestions.

Just two points:

1) For the other newbies playing the home game, the package you want to install 
in devscripts, not debuild; debuild is a part of devscripts.

2) I have the .deb package created. However, I'm still a newbie, so I need some 
advice.

I downloaded the xmame .deb packages (I tried using aptitude to install, but it claimed 
it couldn't read the non-free directory - I'll make another post about this in a 
different message) and installed them with dpkg, but they didn't work. I tried 
uninstalling them, but dpkg claims it needs "package names" not .deb files, to 
uninstall. I don't know the package names.

How do I find the package names for openssh if I need to uninstall it, tweak it, and reinstall from .deb, for instance? The actual .deb files created are openssh-client_4.3p2-9_powerpc.deb, 
openssh-client-udeb_4.3p2-9_powerpc.udeb, 
openssh-server_4.3p2-9_powerpc.deb,

and openssh-server-udeb_4.3p2-9_powerpc.udeb.

Thanks again for the awesome advice!

OpenSSH Login Problems / CheckInstall .deb package?

2007-10-20 Thread Jeffrey Rolland

Hello, all!

I have installed openssh via aptitude on iMac G3 5pp MHz running Debian 
Etch.


Most of the time, when I try to ssh into the iMac, I have no problem, 
but I was unable to establish an ssh tunnel using Navicat. Upon further 
investigation, I discovered when I tried to ssh in from a shell account 
I have I got the error "Permission denied (publickey,password).".


I did some Googling, and this appears to be a known problem: 
<http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#3.5>. The problem is that the 
compilation of openssh for Etch PPC evidently does not include the 
configure option "--with-md5-passwords". The recommended solution is to 
install openssh from source using this option.


I don't like installing from source, because it's hard to uninstall. I 
like to use checkinstall, but I found, to my horror, that for some 
reason the checkinstall package had been removed from Debian between 
Sarge and Etch.


So, I will use "make install" to install checkinstall, and use 
checkinstall and dpkg to install openssh.


Does anyone know why checkinstall isn't officially supported in Etch, 
and has anyone else had similiar problems with openssh?


Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you; I needed to buy a new mouse, and it 
just came today.

Yes, I tried the default kernels from Sarge. The guy who helped me set up Sarge 
had
configured BootX
to boot from a ramdisk/kernel on the Mac OS partition and gave BootX an 
optional parameter
for root's
]\parition; I have no idea if this is standard. I know Yellow Dog 3.x had you 
configure BootX to
load the kernel on root's parition.

The monitor has the power light begin flashing, so I don't think that the 
problem is waiting for
X-Windows
to start; I think the kernel isn't loading.

Correct Linux Kernel for Sonnet G4 in PowerMac 7500 with Sarge?

2007-10-04 Thread Jeffrey Rolland
Hello, all!

I just upgraded my old Power Macintosh 7500 to have a Sonnet Crescendo/PCI G4 
Processor Upgrade Card. The Mac was a dual boot Mac OS 8.6 / Debian Linux 
"Sarge" box. 
The guy who installed the upgrade card had to run an installer off a floppy for 
Mac OS and 
there is a Sonnet Extension in the Extensions folder. Mac OS runs spiffy.

The problem is Debian won't boot at all; I just get a black screen. I have 
BootX set up to load 
a 2.6.8 kernel (overwrote the exact name of the kernel); I'm guessing that the 
kernel is the 
problem. It probably only works for a 601 processor.

I had the guy throw out the 601 processor, so going back temporarily isn't an 
option. I am 
having a devil of a time getting the Old World Mac booted to use the Etch 
Install CD. (I am 
really interested in upgrading to Etch. There is nothing on the Linux parition 
I care about 
saving.) Floppy booting doesn't work, probably because of the Sonnet Extension. 
Etch 
doesn't include Ramdisk/Kernel images to use with BootX.

>From my previous posting on 10/29/2006, it appears that people have had 
>success booting 
into Sarge with a Sonnet card. So, if someone would post with a kernel that 
allows me to boot 
into Sarge with the Sonnet card and from where to download the kernel, I should 
be able to 
handle upgrading to Etch by myself at that point.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

GWorkspace doesn't work in Sarge

2006-11-25 Thread Jeffrey Rolland

Hello, all!

I have a Power Macintosh 7500/100 running Debian Sarge.

I have recently switched from KDE to GNUStep/WindowMaker, and I am  
having a problem with GWorkspace.


I used aptitude to install "^gnustep$" (without the quotes) and then  
remove "kde-core". I have not installed "wdm" yet, so I am using xdm.


When I go to launch GWorkspace, I get a sequence of 15 error messages.

1)"Critical Error in GWorkspace

NSInternalInconsistencyException: unable to contact GDNC server
please check that the gdnc process is running

Ignore Abort"

I clicked "Ignore".

2) "GWorkspace

Application may already be running with the same name

Rename Abort Continue"

I clicked "Continue".

3) "GWorkspace

Continue Abort"

I clicked "Continue".

4) "Quit!

So you really want to quit?

Yes No"

I clicked "No".

5) "Gworkspace

(Not really an error message.)

6) "Unable to contact fswatcher

I clicked "OK".

7) "The mtab parh is not set. Using default value

OK"

I clicked "OK".

8) "The mount points for removeable media are not defined. Using  
default values

I clicked "OK".

9) Same as 1)

10) "Critical Error in GWorkspace

Ignore Abort"

I clicked "Ignore".

11) Finally, a GWorkspace window appears. I cannot move the scrollbar  
or click in the lowest part of window to navigate file system.


(Not really an error message.)

12) "GWorkspace

Starting:ddbd" (progress thermometer)

(Not really an error message.)

13)"Unable to contact ddbd

OK"

I clicked "OK".

14) Same as 1)

15) Same as 10)

I gave up at this point.

Can anyone help sort out why GWorkspace doesn't work? I would really  
appreciate any assistance you can provide.

I have an upgrade card in my mac 9500 clone -- it's a 455 MHz G3  
and it worked
fine with both Yellow Dog (albeit years ago) and with Debian  
(currently).

Thanks, that helps alleviate my fears.

Sonnet Crescendo/PCI G4 Processor Upgrade Card with Debian Sarge

Also remember to restart the localtalk bridge and any other appletalk

While we're on the topic, how do I make NetATalk reflect the changes  
to atalkd.conf? Does it automatically update on the fly as soon as I  
save? I have been restarting the whole box, but this seems like  
overkill for Linux.


Thanks for your help. I will try the new atalkd.conf file when I get  
home tonight.

Problems with Dial-up on Old World Mac

2006-10-25 Thread Jeffrey Rolland

Hello, all!

I have a Power Macintosh 7500 running Debian Sarge. I have a US  
Robotics 56.6K modem.


When I try to dial up, Debian gets the modem to dial, and the modem  
negotiates a connection, but then the remote computer can't hear  
anything Debian says, and Debian can't hear anything the remote  
computer says. I have tested with KPPP and C-Kermit, and on two  
different PAP authenticating ISPs and on two BBS - same thing.


Using the same computer and modem with Mac OS 8.6, I am able to log  
into both the ISPs and the BBSs. Thus, I don't believe the problem is  
the modem.


On a possibly related note, I am unable to detect an Apple  
Laserwriter 4/600 PS I have hooked up via ethernet, an ethernet  
switch, and an AsanteTalk ethertalk-to-localtalk bridge. Again, it  
prints just fine from the same computer running Mac OS 8.6 and from  
an iBook G3 running OS 10.4.8 hooked up the the ethernet switch.  
Thus, I don't believe the problem is the AsanteTalk bridge.


It almost appears that Debian just doesn't want to talk over the  
localnet wires - but I'm not using localtalk! It doesn't make sense  
to me.


Does anyone have any experience with a problem similar to this?

Thanks in advance,
