Re: ssh-keygen between SuSE and FreeBSD

That made it possible for me to ssh from SuSE server to FreeBSD server, but now when I ssh from my Mac to SuSE server it wants a password now: Enter passphrase for /home/myusername/.ssh/id_rsa: I read the FreeBSD handbook section 14.11.7 ssh-agent and ssh-add and don't have anything much more intelligent to say but I don't understand. ;) Questions: 1. If the ssh-agent and ssh-add utilities load the keys into memory, they'd be wiped if I rebooted? Yes, rebooting will take the keys out of memory and you would need to use 'ssh-add' on the command line to put the keys and passphrase in memory. The 'ssh-add -D' command removes the keys when you are done but are not logging out. 2. Is #1 why I'd add it to my ~/.profile? This is so that ssh-agent is set when you login at a console. I don't know about Mac but some Linux distributions have session scripts so that this is done for you when you start a KDE session. I don't believe ~/.profile will be read unless you login at a console or xterm or similar. When you add stuff to your ~/.profile, I recommend doing it on a separate account first. I once added those lines on a Linux system and was locked out on that account but I was able to get in with another account, su to root, and remove the lines in the affected user ~/.profile and then I was no longer locked out. 3. How am I able to ssh (without a password) from my Mac to SuSE server or Mac to FreeBSD server when I don't have eval `ssh-agent` and ssh-add in my .profile on my Mac? You can do 'ssh-agent bash' followed by 'ssh-add' but this will not work until you have generated your SSH keys with: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024 or ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 or similar. Until you do that, you have to use your login password and cannot use a passphrase since you have not set one. Setting the passphrase is part of the process of generating your SSH keys. BTW I do not know if you are using the keychain utility. Be very careful with it. It can be confusing. I found it inconvenient to use and no longer use it. There are some fine SSH tutorials online, I believe OnLamp has some. Just make sure they are not more than about 3 yrs old. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought sshd ignored SIGHUP and you had to actually stop and restart it to pick up configuration changes. IIRC, I use SIGHUP in OpenBSD but in FreeBSD, I use /etc/rc.d/sshd restart I also have PubkeyAuthentication yes in my sshd_config but perhaps this is the default, I am unsure. In some situations, I also need to edit ~/.ssh/config to allow the connection and add 'PubkeyAuthentication yes' (on the host initiating the connection). ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If anything, it's one of the most simple tools there is for managing /etc. The part you probably find confusing, which is the same part I did when I started using it, is the side-by-side interactive diff. It's very easy to use; r means use the text shown on the right, and l means use the text shown on the left. That is certainly the part that confused me until I referred to the Absolute FreeBSD book. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thats what I mean't when I said that I carefully merged /usr/src/etc/ with /etc. But like I said, no files were replaced that contained my own configuration, e.g. group. I will say this- that I have always considered Mergemaster a confusing mess, despite the dogma on the lists. I have been running FreeBSD and installing it since 1998, so I have some experience- but this is new behavior beyond my previous experiences. I have only been using FreeBSD for almost one year and I am still a little confused by Mergemaster, but what helped me with it was the book Absolute FreeBSD. I would not have been able to deal with it without the book. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
