I need to find a way to upgrade OpenSSH support to something more than the patched 4.3p2 which comes included in CentOS 5.3. Specifically I want to be able to use the Chroot functionality which was added in OpenSSH 4.8.
# The following directives force ben_files to become chrooted
# and only have sftp available. No other chroot setup is required.

I built a home server (NAS/WWW/SSH/media server etc) and chose CentOS 5 as the OS (stability, easy of configuration).I was just about to start tuning the power consumption when I realised that the kernel CentOS uses is so "old" that it does not support the latest reduced power consumption enhancements that Linux has achieved in big strides in the recent past (we are probably still talking 6-12+ months ago e.g. tickless kernel)..
So my questions; 1) I know CentOS was maybe not meant for home servers (certainly its not its primary purpose), but if it is, any ideas of what kind of power consumption it takes (I know its relative) and if there are particular power consumptions that are worthwhile?
2) Do you recommend me compiling my own 2.6.21+ kernel from kernel.org or am I just likely to have compatibility issues (I really did not want to do that) or when is CentOS 5.4 supposed to have a newer 2.6.21+ version kernel?
Was it wrong of me in principle to choose CentOS for a home server when I am power conscious? (I don't have a low-power VIA processor either but a P4 so I am really just hoping to make do with software changes).
I maintain my slackware by using slackpkg-current. When I upgraded to the new OpenSSH 5.4, I noticed that my key method (passwordless) doesn't work anymore. I checked and checked the conf files but everything looks fine.I tried debug but can't get it to work, here is the debug:
Mar 15 21:52:15 vmslackware2 sshd[2663]: debug1: rexec start in 5 out 5 newsock
Mar 15 21:52:15 vmslackware2 sshd[2622]: debug1: Forked child 2663.

I would like to replace default OpenSSH version 4.3 with latest one (5.x). New version do support SFTP chroot, which is something I need.Of course, it can be compiled from source, but it is worst possible option for maintenance, since I do have few servers. Does someone provide RPMs or source RPMs at least ? If yes, what is repository/URL ?

I am trying to install openssh server with public key authentication on CentOS.
But i am getting following error message: Disconnected: No supported authentication method available Server refused keys
My sshd_conf file is as follows:
I have configured openssh 5.8p2 with centos 5.6. My sftp is working fine with chroot environment but i am having problem with SCP. I am dealing with muliti Redhat servers. When i try to transfer data from other linux server through scp it gives connection refused. For e.g ssh 5.8 is configured on new server and i want to transfer files from old server which is using openssh 4.3 version.i created same username and password on new server as on old server.My sftp users on new server has no shell access but only sftp access. When i try to scp from old server to new server it gives error connection refused. Is the below configuration only for sftp and can't scp? According to google the configurations i found are for scp and sftp. Do i need to generate ssh keys by giving users on new server shell access, once created then stop shell access again, as i dont want to give shell access permanent for security reasons? but i want to use ssh keys for more security as well.

Will Redhat support CentOS under any circumstances? I have heard at my employer that if you setup you system with CentOS and then on down the line you find you need RHEL support that you can purchase a license from Redhat and they will support your CentOS installation.Is that an official policy at Redhat? Unofficial? Or completely untrue?

Does anyone have experience with running SuSe on CentOS KVM?
