Re: Hello Nethelpers [SSH / PUTTY]Strange behaviour with telnetd
On 6/30/06, JB MORLA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have installed sshd on Debian and PuTTY on XP. When you installed SSH it should have made it's own host keys. Same for PuTTY. PuTTY only connects via SSH when the line: telnetd is in inetd.conf not commented. Suppose I generate a key on one pc using keygen, how do I copy it to the other machine? By default PuTTY only wants to use SSH -- this is a good thing =) So far I understand that both pc must have the same private key in order to encrypt/decrypt data traveling over ethernet? You don't need to copy anything -- your session key and PuTTY on XP encrypts the message sent to the Debian server; which is decoded automatically by the SSH daemon on the Debian side. The first time you connect it will say Unknown host "Do you want to add this sesson permanently?" If you have just set it up and basically trust it then you say yes and you are done. If you DONT trust it and want to copy the Debian key to "known hosts" for PuTTY XP -- you just ned to read the PuTTY docs a little closer =) SSH encrytion, similar to TLS, creates an end-to-end encryption "tunnel" between the PuTTY app and the sshd on the Debian server. -- WC (Bill) Jones -- http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I did so, repeated my attempt to reconfigure after copying the new xorg.conf to /etc/X11, and I get the same behavior. The Is this an ATI or nVidia video card? I do not use an xorg.conf file on my ATI systems; however for nVidia systems the file I pointed you to will work unless your xorg system is broken in some unknown way. Did you simply try installing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.Dell270_Master file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Then Ctrl-Alt F7 and Ctrl-Backspace to see if the X Server starts up? Also, if this is a brand new install did you try updating the drivers? apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade ??? -- WC (Bill) Jones -- http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

When I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, everything apparently goes well, except the results of the reconfiguration never get written anywhere. There is no warning or error produced, but no xorg.conf file anywhere on the system. When I do startx after reconfiguring and examine the log file, it tells me no configuration file was found, and falls back to built-in defaults. I have read the man pages and much else, but cannot get a handle on this one. Any suggestions much appreciated. Well, if you *are* using xorg for X (ls -l /etc/X11/x would show where the link is pointing) you can use the generic file from http://ccsh.us/xorg.conf.tgz If you are realy using x-server you dont need the xotg.conf file -- just run the dpkg--reconfigure xerver-xorg command then use Ctrl-AltF7 to switch to where the GUI is supposed to be then hit Ctrol-Backspace to restart the X-Server Works this weird way for me on FC5 and Debian Etch.
