putty
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 -- Roland Brouwers C.A.T. bvba -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

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.

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. ??

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?

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 ] Generating SSH2 DSA host key: [ OK ] Starting sshd: [ OK ] Now to reconnect...

When will the key of the remote host be added in this file known_hosts? 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.

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.

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.

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. roland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

extra harddisk on RAID5
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?

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? 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
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'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?

(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.
