putty

2008-05-30 Thread roland

Hello,

Is there someone who can tell me how to install more fonts for putty?
I do not understand how it works. Sometimes I get a lot of fonts, but most  
of the time I only get 2:

fixed
luxi mono

I looked at /usr/sbin/chkfontpath
to find out where the system is looking for fonts
1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
6: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

Under Type1 I have a lot of fonts and I added all TTF fonts of mswindows
But nothing works

When I look at systems where putty offers me lots of fonts, I don't find  
any difference.


Help!!!

Thanks
Roland

I forgot to tell one thing, I am testing it with Nx of nomachine
Apparently NX uses his own fonts, so one has to define a fontserver in the  
setup of the client-login
this fontserver is as I understand the I.P. address of the server you are  
logging into, or whatever server.

In either case, it works that way.
And it worked with VNC.

Note: It should be understood that in this case I am connecting from one  
linux-box to another.

Because I installed to linux-VM's (vmware)

I hope someone can use this.

Thanks anyway

 From the error message it is looking for the files in ssh2, instead
of ssh. I am not sure why this is. Did they change things in F9, or
did you install ssh from something besides the Fedora RPM?


It is a standart installation K12ltsp
But
I wanted to sync 2 servers with rsync without asking for a password. So I  
generated a key with ssh-keygen and suddenly he created a .ssh2. I suppose  
I don't need this ssh2 but I don't how to remove it. I found that in  
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S55sshd this is generated if a dsa_key or rsa_key exists  
in /etc/ssh/. So I removed those keys. But still he creates those keys  
when sshd is started and he looks then for the ssh2_config file.

You mean it's not Fedora? I don't know what version of SSH is on
K12ltsp, but possibly it's the older one that put SSH2 stuff in ssh2
directories.


K12ltsp is Fedora

So, what can be the solution. Or how can I get rid of this ssh2?

According to the Wiki, "K12LTSP is based on CentOS Linux and the Linux
Terminal Server Project". There is also a Fedora-based version called
K12Linux. I've no idea what the differences are.

Start by finding out exactly which version of ssh you have:

# rpm -qa \*ssh\*

poc


k12ltsp exist for both CentOS and Fedora. I have both running.
I asked the question on Centos Forum, but no answer.

I cannot give you the version because I cannot enter the server from  
distance.

I remember a version 9, the rest I have to check tomorrow.

version 3.9p1-8

If not, then I have to reinstall the whole server. A lot of work and

Hallo,

Is there anybody who can tell me where kmail puts the mail.
I am moving from one server to another and just like to know what the best

Just moving the directory of mail(wherever it is) would be the fastest

It's probably the ownership rather than the permissions that has
changed.  'ls -l filename' will show you an example of who owns that
directory's files at the moment, then

chown -R newowner:groupname /path/to/directory/

should get you up and running again.

Anne

I can check easely owner and group but what I would like to find is a  
script that checks the permissions. I remember, sorry to mention it, SCO  
unix, they had a utility to check the entire installation.

Like for example .dmrc, in the home dir, need to have a 644 permission.
What permissions should the other .dir have, like .gnome, .evolution eso.

Most directories are very happy with 744 permissions.  That would be  
mostly what you want since 644 could present problems.  The only  
directory that I *know requires* a different permission is .ssh, where  
you'd need 700.


I did notice that you've convinced yourself that your problems are  
related to permissions and don't seem interested to explore other  
possibilities. AFAIK, you also didn't mention exactly *how* you moved  
the home directories.



I did not mean to give that impression, sorry.
I copied /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow
I copied /home with rsync
I hope this is an answer and I am still interested in whatever solution :-)

That would make the uids and gids the same but would not affext the
permissiond in the home directory. Did you copy the home directories
also?

I do not really remember. I think I just put then there with rsync, but it  
could also be that I copied them with tar and then rsync, but wouldn't  
that have the same result?

As long as you used the options that preserve permissions.

Sorry for late answer, but I'm abroad.

Probably I should say now sh...
I forgot the -p option that preserves the permissions
Probably I won't forget this anymore.

Was Anita compromised?

No, because I have the same problem here from out of Greece


Was Anita updated?
No, why should I, it always worked, and this version of mine works with  
all other clients



Was Anita changed?

No, same answer

I have to say, somerthing akward is going on there, because all  
workstations failed to connect Anita, except one.



Was the author of Anita contacted?

No

Anita for windows?

yes

Anita for the web?

Is Anita connecting to sshd on the linux host in the same way that Putty  
does?



How can I tell? ssh is not a thing i could say I master.


Can you login and 'su -' to root..

yes

I changed the password and know this guy is trying to login again, but  
fails. Apperently he was not ready, but maybe changed the key.


If so you can look at the logs?
Do the logs make sense?

Yes, like I sed above.



dsa_verify failed for server_host_key tells me that a key was changed
not that the host was compromized... If you update the key the
old key needs to be removed  F

can  you tell me what the best way is to generate those keys, because my  
last experience with this failed.



Is it possible that the night shift upgraded to ssh2 or added it?

I am the only one.


Is it possible that the night shift added (incorrectly) their own key?
-- php, perl, java, etc...

like above


As others indicated -- IF it has been HACKED
SHUT IT DOWN, pull the plug.  The legal liability
of keeping a hacked system up and running
is large.

As I sed, I will do this when I'm back from holidays.


Are the keys in the .ssh2 dir telling you anything...

??.


If .ssh2 does not contain your keys -- rename/remove it.

Do the keys in the .ssh2 dir belong to anyone... someone you can call.
Sometimes the comments are informative and id a host or person.

It might be that someone knows what was done in your absence.
Who else has pass words or access to the systems?
those who could know about the root password don't know anything about  
linux or others.



How does ssh checks keys. I am asking this because anita fails before she  
knows who is login in. So if she takes the login of windows which is mine,  
she would login or check in $HOME/.ssh. And in $HOME there is no .ssh2, so  
probably there will be checked in /etc/ssh/ for dsa and rsa keys. So if I  
remove those keys, would that change it?


Thanks again

How does ssh checks keys. I am asking this because anita fails before  
she

knows who is login in. So if she takes the login of windows which is
mine, she would login or check in $HOME/.ssh. And in $HOME there is no
.ssh2, so probably there will be checked in /etc/ssh/ for dsa and rsa
keys. So if I remove those keys, would that change it?


Do contact the Anita authors.  you paid for their product.

Background reading http://www.openssh.com/   AND "man ssh; man sshd".


In general for ssh:

There is a set of system key pairs on the host.
   /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
   /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

And a set of user key pairs on your laptop/ desktop. On linux these are
here... on Windows Anita I do not know.

~/.ssh/id_dsa
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

When connecting to a host there is an initial handshake that involves
the host itself and the hosts key pair.  The signatures of known
hosts are cached in the "known_hosts" file and is used to establish the
initial transport layer and establishes ongoing validation of the host.
This involves the host keys on the server and the known_hosts file on
your laptop.  Anita has a known_hosts equivalent file someplace.  If
the host keys change (on purpose) you need to update this cache.

Following the initial transport layer setup is the user authentication
layer.  It involves the key pair (id_dsa) on your laptop.  Optionally it
can involve the authorized_keys file on the server which can contain
the public half of the key pair (id_dsa.pub only the public half).  It  
is possible to use

password authentication over the  secure channel setup in the transport
layer step if the administrator allows it.  The secure link involves the  
HOST keys.


$ ls -l  ~/.ssh
total 52
-rw--- 1 mitch mitch 8115 2008-09-14 22:39 authorized_keysb
-rw--- 1 mitch mitch  387 2008-09-14 22:39 config
-rw--- 1 mitch mitch  744 2008-09-14 22:39 id_dsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 mitch mitch  946 2008-09-15 11:18 id_dsa.keystore
-rw--- 1 mitch mitch  615 2008-09-14 22:39 id_dsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 mitch mitch 8758 2008-09-15 14:09 known_hosts

If the hosts  key pair is compromized it needs to be regenerated.
Anyone with the pair can do stuff.   If you look at /etc/init.d/sshd
on the host you should see code that checks for and if needed generates
the key pairs.  I have not tried it remotly but if you remove  
/etc/ssh_host_dsa*

and rerun /etc/init.d/sshd you should have a new pair.   In addition
you will see rsa keys.

$ ls /etc/ssh/*rs*
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key  /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

These rsa keys also need to be replaced in the same way if the host has  
been compromized.


There are three perhaps four key pairs that must be  managed.  The host
dsa and rsa key pair and personal dsa keys.  If you have an rsa keypair
it may also need to be replaced.   Since your keys are used for root  
access

you MUST have a local lock phrase.

If you remove the keypair from the host --
# rm *key*
rm: remove regular file `ssh_host_dsa_key'? y
rm: remove regular file `ssh_host_dsa_key.pub'? y
rm: remove regular file `ssh_host_key'? y
rm: remove regular file `ssh_host_key.pub'? y
rm: remove regular file `ssh_host_rsa_key'? y
rm: remove regular file `ssh_host_rsa_key.pub'? y
With the keys missing you will see an error.
$ ssh boxtotest
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Now to rekey the server box (on the server).
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Stopping sshd: [  OK  ]
Generating SSH1 RSA host key:  [  OK  ]
Generating SSH2 RSA host key:  [  OK  ]

Now to reconnect... (I am tinkering on a single box).
$ ssh localhost

Putty uses the ssh2 protocol, but probably not the code (haven't  
looked). In any case, the key is added in the Fedora ssh program after  
asking if you trust the connection (and verify the fingerprint). Without  
going back and checking to see how putty does this (haven't use putty in  
several years) I can't say how it works. I think I recall doing a manual  
step to save the key, but I haven't needed putty since 25 months now.


The use of known_hosts is done by the client, the protocol allows  
checking.


following this doc here after your assumption is not correct, or do I  
understand something wrong?


What you describe below is the behavior of ssh as provided by Fedora,  
and that's based on OpenSSH from the OpenBSD project. This is their  
client's warning.


If you reinstall, the reinstalled system creates a new set of  
identification keys. Any clients who had connected to the system with  
any of the OpenSSH tools before the reinstall will see the following  
message:

@@@
@WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle  
attack)!

It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.


The worrying thing is that since the sshd now asks for ssh2 protocol  
only, there is a new sshd operating, one you didn't install, and one  
which may be copying keystroke data (login names and passwords) to some  
unauthorized other site. I can't say that's happening, but this has all  
of the characteristics of that. It could also be caused by an upgrade of  
sshd, although I read your posts to say that only you could do that.


It would be useful to use 'ps' to see which sshd is running, and to do  
an 'ls -l' and md5sum on the executable and post the values here. Also a  
telnet to the ssh port usually gives the protocol and sshd version,  
although that can be faked. Post that if you wish


You will find it in  annex

firewall url filter

Hallo,

I have a network with a fedora-server and several workstations-Vista  
Microsoft (client doesn't want any linux pc's). The users are connected to  
the internet via a router Lancom.


The client wants to prevent users to connect to sex sites.

Can I use the fedora-box as a firewall, filtering several url's or  
filtering several keywords?


Maybe someone has the same problem.

First of all, parted will make many other file systems besides ext2.

I've been able to get live-iso to work with a 4 Gb USB key disk (even

You can get there with 4GB, but IIRC there was little/no room for a swap  
partition. Also no need on any machine I used, but not all machines have  
large memory.


I already bought two sticks and followed the instructions in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Ability_to_boot_from_USB_media

But I always got the notice to make the stick bootable (the last one was  
8GB)


Does this mean
- the sticks are no good?
- I'm doing something wrong?
- what kind of stick is ok?

IIRC you have to go to F12 very quickly on boot (haven't got it in front  
of
me, so I can't check Fx) to get the usb player bootable.  After that  
it's a

perfectly normal install.


Strange,

I did this and the installation stopped in the beginning.

Strange,

I did this and the installation stopped in the beginning.

http://catbe.dyndns.org/fotos/acer_aspire_one.jpg

shows you the picture of the screen.


It says 'you may safely reboot your system' - did it leave you with a  
good

running system, presumably your old one?


What could be the difference?

Dunno.  Two things come to mind - a different model of USB dvd-player  
(don't
know whether a hardware problem there is possible), or a different  
chipset

somewhere in the hardware even though it claims to be the same model.

Did you have a thread anywhere with a subject of failed install, and  
include

that screenshot?  I know there have been some install problems with some
hardware, but haven't been following those threads.


Maybe indeed the DVD player is not the right one???

I did published the same link before.

Unlikely, if it had you would have a response of: "bash: vi: command not

What is the output of: "which vi"?

You could try reinstalling vim-minimal.


the answer on "which vi" :
/bin/vi

I reinstalled vim-minimal and now it works.

That is a *very* old version of OpenSSH, nothing you got from Fedora, I  
believe. I think it's something which the hacker installed, and a hacked  
sshd would be the perfect place to capture login and password  
information.

Just how old a Fedora do you have? This doesn't look at all as I would  
expect. You might do "ls -lc /bin/ps" and see if that was recently  
replaced as well. However:


 > ls -l /usr/sbin/sshd
 > -rwxr-xr-x1 root root  3963123 sep 16 00:03 /usr/sbin/sshd

This looks as if the sshd was replaced a few days ago, shortly before  
your first message to the list. That makes it even more likely that  
passwords are being captured, perhaps even entire connect sessions.


It looks as if the machine has been totally penetrated, and of course if  
you don't use different account names and passwords for other machines  
they have as well.


This is an old version of redhat workstation, just before fedora was  
released.

-r-xr-xr-x1 root root69772 feb 20  2003 /bin/ps
-rw-r--r--1 root root   33 feb 26  2003 /etc/redhat-release
 more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)

I just wonder why this person/hacker is still trying to login with root  
and other names. So he must have been unsuccessful the first time. Now  
root login is blocked and the root passwd is  changed.


From what you are saying I can understand that I should reinstall the  
server, even if he is not successfully login in again?

If the root password is changed once again, then it's clear someone is
mocking you.
Just unplug that system already and reinstall. Upgrade to a more recent
OS if you can. Go CentOS if Fedora is too hard for you.
But more importantly learn about tcpwrappers and system security  
otherwise

it does not matter what effort you put into this thing. You must learn
on your own.


I was not clear enough,
I did changed the password for root and I blocked remote root login.
Now he is still trying to login with root, but unsuccessfully. So probably  
he did not finished his job.

Perhaps the intruders who have been using the box before have been more

What makes you think it's the same person? There are bots on compromised

Yes you should. Once the system is compromised you can't trust anything  
in it.
Unless the intruder is a complete bungler there is now a backdoor  
installed

that lets him control the system no matter how many passwords you change.
Your computer will be used for attacking other computers, churning out  
spam,

or any number of other shady activities.

Install the latest version of CentOS and set it up to receive updates
automatically. Do not transfer any kind of executable code from the old
system to the new one.

extra harddisk on RAID5

2008-09-30 Thread roland

Hello,

I have a server with 3 Harddisks 74Gb Raid5
I would like to install a 4th disk as a backup.
I never did this before. What will happen when I plug this disk in,

will it install itself?
how will it appear?
When one of the disks should fail in the future, can I pull out this 4th  
disk and plug it in as replacement for the failing disk?

Or there some things I have to take care of?

you wish to add the 4th device as a hot spare to your RAID5?

1. partition it in exactly the same way as the other disks.
Assuming It's a single large partition, make sure that the partition is
labelled as 'fd' (or Linux RAID autodetect).

2. run 'partprobe' to inform the kernel about your new partition(s)

3. Add it to your RAID5 as a hot spare to the raid array (assuming it's
called /dev/md0):

mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdd1

(assuming the new disk is /dev/sdd and you have a partition on it called
sdd1)

4. Now
mdadm --detail /dev/md0
should show you have 4 devices, one is a spare device. This will
automatically be used to replace a failed disk.

If you want to remove a failing disk now (/dev/sdb1 for example) you can

5. fail and remove the broken device:
mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/sdb1
mdadm /dev/md0 -r /dev/sdb1

6 let the array rebuld itself. You can see this happening in  
/proc/mdstat:

watch 'cat /proc/mdstat'


7. You should now be able to physically remove the failed device (you'll
probably have to shut down for this unless you have hotpluggable disks)

Thanks for this detailed reply, but I have to tell you that I am quite  
novice with partitioning, because I always take the automatique  
partitioning.


Actually I install vmware server on this Raid5 with 3 virtual clients.  
Because there is not enough space anymore on this raid, I would like to  
install a new bigger virtual client on the new disk, copy everything from  
the old virtual client to the new one, remove the old and copy the new one  
to the raid and keep the disk as spare.


Of course if this 4th disk can be part of this raid5 I will have the extra  
space.

BUT, what will happen when one of the disks fail, I will have no spare.

Probably I am understanding you wrongly.

So in one word I need extra space and a spare disk.

RAID5 + 1 extra disk HOW

2008-10-06 Thread roland

Hello,

I have a  server running on RAID5, on which I would like to add a 4th  
disk, with a seperated filesystem. I need to have some workspace. The same  
disk could be used to replace a failing disk.


Stuart Sears explaned me howto install this disk as a hot spare, but it  
looks to me a little bit to dangereous. This server is serving 20  
workstations, so I need to do this without taking to many risks. I admit  
to be a novice on the matter of diskmanagement. I always do standard  
installation of a filesystem.


So if someone could tell me howto do this in a simple way. I searched the  
internet for a simple howto, but was unsuccessful. I have to do this at a  
client in France, few hours driving


Could someone keep me from having a sleepless night?

This is a spare disk, and can be used only as such. I'm not sure what  
you had in mind by "seperated filesystem," but you can't install another  
drive such that Linux will use the drive in two ways at once. If that  
was your intent it pretty much isn't going to work, and if the spare was  
deployed all data on it would be lost.

Assuming you just want to add a spare, something like this works fine:
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdf1
Then a cat of /proc/mdstat should show the device added, running as a  
spare. I did that, then failed one of the existing drives, and the array  
rebuilt on the spare just fine, and I got a message from monitor mode  
saying it happened and was fixed.


I have to mention that the raid5 was build with the IBM utilities on this  
server x3500. So I suppose this mdadm wouldn't work. Or am I wrong?

Secondly, I need extra space only as a workarea.
That's why I thought, maybe I can:
- insert a 4th disk and add a filesystem, that isn't part of the raid5.
or
- insert a 4th and 5th disk and configure it as a raid1, to be used for  
non critical applications


In case of failure of the raid5, I could could use the 4th disk to replace  
the failing disk of the raid5 and let the ibm utilities rebuild the raid5


Does this makes sense?

I would test the existing array before counting on it to be okay, just  
in case a bad spot developed.See the wiki (http://linux-raid.osdl.org).  
Oh, and there is a linux-raid mailing list where there are lots of us  
who have found problems the hard way and want to share.

I tried to do it with Knoppix but Knoppix does not recognize LVM

If I understand correctly, you're adding the partition /dev/sda3 to a
volume group.

(1) Prepare the partition for use as a physical volume (PV) (verify that
it does not contain critical data first!):

pvcreate /dev/sda3

(2) Extend the volume group (VG) by adding the PV to it:

vgextend NAME_OF_VOLUME_GROUP /dev/sda3

(3) Use the space as you see fit -- extend logical volumes, create
logical volumes, etc.

You should also be able to do this graphically using system-config-lvm,
if desired.



If I do this then df still gives the old capacity.
I found a site:
http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Expanding_Linux_Partitions_with_LVM

and if you look for this text:
"At this point we have only extend the VG and not the actual size of LV"

You'll see that they use lvextend
They umount also the volume.
In my case it is '/'; I don't know if this can be unmounted.

Why didn't you mention it? Am I overlooking something.

Hi!
Is there anyone who can help me setting an Acer Aspire One 150 to run a  
Linpus Linux in US English with a keyboard ABNT2 (Portuguese brazilian)?  
Found no help in Linpus homepage... :(

Thanks in advance,


Linpus (a version of fedora) understands the instruction
setxkbmap -layout xx
where xx is uk or us or de or ...
setxkbmap -help

The language is a build in feature at purchase.

acer one

2009-07-24 Thread roland

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install fed 11 on an acer aspire one (netbook), using a  
usb_DVD.


Following the doc of fedora everything should go standard except for  
usb_DVD. You will find in the attached picture the error that is generated  
when installing fed 11.


The DVD was tested during installation.

Any ideas?

Roland

If i read error correctly it's trying to connect network and fails in  
it. Are you sure you are doing non network install?

Also the dbus error is clipped which would be helpfull to see fully.


I think the problem is the usb_DVD
In the following link

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One#Installation_DVD

they say something about this usb_DVD:
"Installation DVD
Regular install, except via external USB CD/DVD drive, or using a  
specially setup 4GB+ usbkey."


I will try F10

Can't find any attachment. Anyway, I do had success in installing/
upgrading/ using F11 on my aspire one. Installed with a livecd on USB
(obviously, i386). something like this:

# yum install livecd-tools
# livecd-iso-to-disk /home/rodolfo/Fedora-11-image.iso /dev/sdc1

Verifying image...
/home/rodolfoap/Fedora-11-image.iso:

Yes - I can report success doing exactly the same.


So as I understand you are making a bootable usb-stick?
What is the minimum capacity of the stick.

I tried to do this, but he complains saying the stick is not bootable
so I should use
/sbin/parted
Parted only allows to make a ext2 filesystem.
How should I do this. Why does it work out of the box with you guys?

First of all, parted will make many other file systems besides ext2.
From the man page:

mkfs partition fs-type
  Make  a  filesystem  fs-type on partition. fs-type can be
  one of "fat16", "fat32", "ext2", "linux-swap", or "reiserfs".

But I believe what they are asking you to do is make sure the boot
flag is set on the partition.



what should be the capacity of the stick?

This works OK, but I am not able to browse on the Windows machine.

Am I misunderstanding something about how Samba works?
Do I need to specify this Windows folder on the Linux box?
Or is there some step I am meant to take on the Windows machine,
beyond allowing File and Folder Sharing?


I've done things like that, but find that I need to use some additional
mount options to pass along username and password for the share being
mounted. something like:

mount -t cifs -o user=me,password=mypassword //host/path /mnt/foobar

and possibly uid and gid as well, etc.

see "man mount.cifs" for gory details.



also if you want read-write permission

mount -t cifs -o user=me,password=mypassword,rw  //host/path /mnt/foobar

default is rw but this seems not to be the case sometimes. Don't ask me why
