Re: SSH configuration ?

Thanks Brett. It's starting to make sense. I don't like that the first time anyone can log on if they have a unix password, but what you said that interests me is that once the server has the remote's key, I can then remove that key from the authorized key file and have some control over who c

RE: SSH configuration ?

Thanks for the info on root. The reason I'm using SSH is that we have DSL users with dynamic IP's. A: Our telnet wrappers are useless and B: even if it could be used, it's unencrypted. I was under the impression that with secure shell you could generate a key on the sever that would have to b

Biforcated logging

how can I get a machine to log to 2 different locations at the same time? I'd like to keep a consolidated log of all my machines and routers in one secured location, but for convenience I still want to log locally too. Thanks Roy Research Libraries Group __

Re: Services/ports/init.d etc.. (not /etc :-)

thanks marisa. I have a port 1024 open -tcp- unknown. How do you find out what process has a port when it says unknown.. Thanks Roy At 11:59 AM 07/25/2000 -0700, you wrote: >identd is located in /usr/sbin if their aren't any links to it. it is also >possible that ident was started from within

Re: Services/ports/init.d etc.. (not /etc :-)

Easy for you to say :-) There isn't any file identd in /etc/rc.d/init.d. There's also no process identd running on the system. Yet nmap shows port 113 AUTH as being active. Strange..very strange Roy >This is an easy one. You are looking for the identd program. It is >started from /etc/rc.

Services/ports/init.d etc.. (not /etc :-)

is there a definitive place where I can find what particular services do and where they are started ? I have the following running (result of nmap) and would like to clean it up more. specifically auth (if it's not critical) ,nntp,netbios-ssn and printer. PortState Protocol Service
