Debian :: Recompile Openssh-server With Different Version ?
Dec 26, 2009
I would like to recompile the openssh-server with a different version string. I download and compile the source, but so far I have only been able to compile and run the client. Not the server.
Steps taken:
Is there a flag or option I need to specify to insure that it creates the sshd?
My Fedora Core 8 server came with OpenSSH Server 4.7p1 installed. I could not find a YUM package or RPM for 5.2p1, so I installed it manually and rebooted. Now if I do a version check with "sshd -v", it reports it's version as "OpenSSH_5.2p1", but if I connect with Putty, it reports "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7". Do I have two versions of OpenSSH running or what's going on?
Is there a way to enable a web interface to access openssh-server on my vps incase i'm on a network that does not permit outbound port tcp 22 or any other port of my choosing?

So this very (for me) important little package fails me once again. But this time it refuses to restart/start
This is the output:
Setting up openssh-server (1:5.3p1:-1) Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell Server: sshd: failed! /dev/null is not a character device! invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.
[Code].....
The error is within the /etc/init.d/ssh script. ("error")
This is in squeeze so I can only blame my self, but.. This is one of the packages that fair and square should not fail to install/update/start/restart no mather what!
I'm in need of a bit of assistance from you Debian users. I have two servers that I thought were identical installations, both running Debian Lenny. Tonight I started the upgrade to Squeeze on both servers and one of them went smooth. The other one started out good but fails on the postconfiguration of openssh-server. I'm getting the following message:
It looks like there's an error in one of the files in openssh-server that prohibits it from installing correctly. However on the other server it all went well.
Platform RHEL 4 Update 8.I have installen the 0.9.8m version of openSSL on the workstation with the existing version of openSSH that comes with the Operating System. When doing a secure shell connection with the following command:ssh -vvv 131.98.37.7.the output shows that it is refrencing the older version of openssl 0.9.7a.why is the openSSH still refrencing the older version of openSSL.
I have two Debian 5 servers which running on both the same version of OpenSSH (5.1p1) and OpenSSL (0.9.8g).
One week ago, I set ssh keys on both of them and create the file "authorized_keys". I was able to connect on each server via SSH without password (which is the purpose of ssh keys) but I had an issue with the SSH service and I had to restart one of my server. And since this time, when I try to connect to my other server with the same ssh command, the command ask me to type the password...
This is the result of the ssh command (with the argument -v):
Code: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to MY_SERVER [1.2.3.4] port 22. debug1: Connection established.
At Design House I get LDAP installed and working with PHP5. Not used to rpm'ing - need to add LDAP to PHP5 hosted on SELinux on Network Solutions server and recompile. They installed an openldap but I'm not seeing PHP with it compiled.
I installed the latest security update for squeeze. It entailed an update of the kernel. Now when it boots, it give continuous kernel error messages about "can't enumerate usb .... " I have a custom kernel compiled from source (not sure about the patch level) from the same kernel 2.6.32. It seems to work OK. Should I worry about the security of this custom kernel or should I try to recompile it? I don't really know how to do any patching of the kernel source.
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.
Port 22 PermitRootLogin no 1.override default of no subsystems[code].....
I connect to a server on linux(openssh) through ssh. Is there a way such that i can hide my IP on that machine so that the server won't know my username and IP address?
When I connect with my vps server through openssh, doesn't establish connection. Openssh is active (see its status), port 22 is open, the sshd_config file is the same of original copy (I have saved one in the case I did a mistake) the only line different permitrootpassword is set on ''no'', there isn't a firewall that block ssh connection and with other remote desktop control like remmina works well.
I'm having problems getting openssh server to accept connections in Ubuntu 10.04.Here's what I've done (twice): Installed Ubuntu 10.04 on USB drive with pendrive installer. This creates a default user "ubuntu" and you don't get the chance to choose a password for it. Started a keyring for network access and selected password. Works.Enabled VNC and selected password. Works fine with VNC client on local network. Logs in as "ubuntu" user and asks for the VNC password, then connects. Note: the client doesn't know the "ubuntu" user password, and neither do I! However, it works.Installed openssh client and server from Ubuntu s/w center.
$ ssh localhost OR $ ssh ubuntu@localhost try to connect, but asks for password, which I don't know (see step one, above) so, then I created a new user, with known password, logged in as new user in Ubuntu, works.however, $ ssh newuser@localhost still fails, even when correct password for <newuser> is supplied. Rejects the password three times, then gets the usual error about keys.I also tried connecting with an SSH terminal app from my iPad, again using <newuser>. It gets essentially the same error, "failure to authenticate".
All this is still on my own LAN, haven't gotten to going outside the router yet.What I want to do in the end is use VNC over SSH from a client on my iPad to talk securely to Ubuntu while I'm traveling.
I have problem with the config file for clients which is ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config
every config that i write in them not working fore example when I change the escape character to ! its not working or any other config I checked with another system that has the same OS ((debian 6)) but the problem was there too
Do I missing something here that cause this? like enabling client configuration ?
I have recently discovered the following: when I attempt to connect to any of our machines that are OpenSSH 5.x (Ubuntu 10 or OpenSuSE 11.x in our case) as one of the users defined in the NIS domain that fails. For instance, me (user bepstein) can SSH into all those machines but not SFTP.I can SFTP into those machines on the network that are OpenSSH 4.x, however (CentOS 5.3 - 5.4, OpenSUSE 10.3).As a user defined locally on the machine (in /etc/passwd ) I can connect via either SSH or SFTP even if the machine is OpenSSH 5.x.Some further discussion of that issue is available here: http:[url]....
I am trying to build rpm for openssh 5.8p1 on centos 5.6 (32 bit) as i have not found rpm for i386 online. i followed the below mentioned steps but when i apply command rpmbuild -bb openssh.spec it gives this error at the end:
configure error: Pam Headers not found error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18348 (%build)
if there is any rpm availble online or to sort out this build problem,Following steps i followed to build rpm. wget http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/openssh/portable/openssh-5.8p1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf openssh-5.8p1.tar.gz[code]......
Now if you go back into /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch> , you should see three RPMs. Go ahead and install them:rpm -Uvh *.rpm
I have an old computer a friend of mine found in a dumpster, and I've decided to use it as a file server. After finally getting it to connect to my wifi network, I tried connecting to it via OpenSSH on my main desktop. After I connected, I noticed OpenSSH was being very laggy. Whenever I type anything in there's a very noticable and annoying delay from when I type it to when it appears on screen. Now, a while ago a friend of mine was helping me fix my laptop when fglrx drivers broke x, and I set up openssh on there so he could access it. According to him, there was no lag (and he's half-way across the globe, whereas my file server is in the other room). The computer is an old Pentium 4 with one and a half gigs of RAM, two hard drives (one I use for the os/swapping and the other I use for /home). It's connected to wifi via a spare USB Linksys 802.11 bg adaptor I found lying around, and it's using the default drivers that come with Debian to connect.
I have VNC working but I like how freenx starts in it's own session. It is handy for when my account is not logged into the server and VNC hasn't started.I have freenx working but it requires sshd_config to enable PasswordAuthentication. This isn't a major security problem at the moment since I have deny.hosts running but I still don't like it enabled. I would much rather only use the keys.
I'm trying to get openssh-server working so I can stop using the family TV and just SSH from my laptop. I've only just installed 10.4 server edition, and I've made a change to /etc/apt/sources.lst by removing the # in front ofdeb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 10.04 LTS Anyway I run:sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Connecting with PuTTy works fine with my public/private keys. But why does sshd start and then restart twice when booting? I tried looking in the logfiles under /var/log/ for anything with ssh/sshd but nothing shows up.
I need by searching this site so I haven't had a need to sign up since I can't really help anyone as of yet. With that said here is my problem: I'm running a VPS with CentOS RHEL 5 host-in-a-box, I just did a rebuild of the server and after a day or two pure-ftpd and sshd unexpectedly close out any incoming connections. I am the only one that uses ssh and ftp so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I checked the logs and there is nothing to do with not being able to bind on the address.
I tried connecting through ssh in verbose mode and it connects to the server just fine, but drops the connection before it asks me for my key pass phrase. If I enable password access it will drop before it asks me for it's password. I've tried restarting sshd and ftpd. I've tried rebooting the machine. I've tried google, but this problem seems to need a little more specific trouble shooting. I can get in through console access, but that doesn't help me much when I need to transfer files.
I have FTPS setup on my ubuntu server 9.10 machine using vsftpd, and I want to disable the default SFTP server in openSSH. I didn't even know it was on until I accidentally connected to it. I tried searching the internet, and it seems that all I should have to do is comment out the line:
Code: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server restart sshd and it shouldn't work anymore.....except it does. Thinking that /etc/init.d/ssh restart may not have worked, I restarted the machine, but I can still connect over sFTP.
I installed fwknop-server automatically using apt-get, however, got version is 2.0.0rc2, while I found that version 2.6 is available. How can I get it in the easiest way? I'm using debian wheezy 3.2.54-2. I tried apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade, nothing worked.
