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'm a WuBi user, and wanted to upgrade XP to 7, I've upgraded it partially when in XP. So as expected he messed up my grub.
But now I have the problem:
Every time I insert the Windows 7 DVD the pc says "Please press any key to boot up from CD/DVD" (as normal), but when I press the "any" key, the PC does absolutely nothing and just restarts.
Not to long ago I used the same DVD on another laptop for an equal upgrade (XP to 7) that went flawless.
My booting set-up is correct, cleaned the disc 500 times now, nothing out of the ordinairy done to my boot-screen or the BIOS... And as far as I know, no blue screen of death when installing the upgrade.
I haven't got a clue what I have to do.
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 ?
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I'm currently using ubuntu desktop 9.10 (without desktop - I've removed packages) as OS on my server.But there's going on some strange thing ... There are about 8 users, and the thing is they many times user rar or some other disk-demanding programs. What I've noticed is that sometimes server will go with load over 20 (I know that's not good ...) and it will come down in few minutes and everything is OK, but sometimes it just restarts itself. I would like to disable that so it won't restart
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Recently, I updated the kernel to the latest version and also installed Ruby and the Passenger module for Apache. The server was fine for a few days.However, today, it's been restarting randomly (usually a minute after I can log in).I tried booting with recover mode so I could view the logs for a longer period of time, but that caused it to restart before even allowing me to log in. Now, all boot modes will just cause the server to restart right after the GRUB messages appear.Our server setup complicates things. We have a RAID-1 mirroring for the /boot partition and a RAID-5 (software) for the / partition

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 want my server to automatically shutdown at 23:59 and startup at 8:00. The startup is handled through by bios but the shutdown is to be managed through cron. I thought I had this working, I actually swear I had it working because I thought the uptime command showed the appropriate uptime. I happened to be up and was streaming a movie from my server when at the time it should've shutdown it actually just restarted. If I run the shutdown -h now command by itself it works well but the scheduled command just restarts the server. Here is the what is shown when I enter crontab -e.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 installed latest stable debian lenny. However when I want to switch to a virtual console by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F(1-6) the X server is restarted and I get the gdm login screen.

My sshd_conf file is as follows:
Ubuntu ver 8.04.1 and Bind ver 9.4.2
I've set this up as a primary dns server, Bind is the only thing running on it, no gui, etc. I followed the default settings so I have a named.conf, named.conf.options, and named.conf.local file.
I have a log file I labeled as named.log in this path /var/log/bind. I'm using logrotate to rotate out the file.
My problem is that after syslogd restarts in the morning. My named.log file don't start logging info until I restart Bind. The new named.log file gets created and the old files rotate out and compress. All of the other log files in /var/log, syslog, messages, mail, etc, rotate out and compress like they should, after syslogd restarts.
I know that I could restart Bind using Cron but I shouldn't have to.
Below are snips of the files I'm using.
I named this one 'bind' and it's in the directory /etc/logrotate.d
I'm making a clever backupsystem based on nfs and rsync.Basically, I export folders from the clients to a backup server, and the backup server processes them and makes backups.The backupserver mounts the folders during startup, but if a client restarts, then I guess it would unmount from my backupserver, right?What can I do to make it automount the folder whenever the client gets back up again?All the clients are static servers without much interferance, without any risk of external people tampering with them and without internet access. Security is not an issue, and any kind of shady compromisingcripts will do.However, installing software on them is tricky as I have to download packet for packet and transfer them via usb manually.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.
My dads' hard drive went up a while back. So we got him a new one and installed Ubuntu 9.10 instead of windows. All was going well until About two weeks ago. The system restarts randomly. Not when anyone is doing anything in particular. Sometimes when we are using firefox, sometimes just sitting on the desktop, and never after any certain amount of time.Some times its after five minutes, some times after several hours. It's not a full out crash, the window for shutdown/switch user/restart comes up out of nowhere. When we close the window, it shows back up pretty quickly, but then the computer will just crash. While restarting, half of the time the computer won't make it past the bios screen before restarting again,and will continue the bios restarting cycle until the computer is unplugged. By the way, the system is a dell dimension E310 from 2005 with all of the original hardware minus hard drive inside, so if it is a hardware issue that wouldn't surprise me. Also, just one time after the restart I received the message "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16" , if that helps at all.
