Jan 29, 2009I've tried Ubuntu, Arch, and most recently Fedora but the SUSE GNOME environment blows everything else away!
The only problem (so far) is that Network Manager requires you to enter your password every time you login to unlock the password keyring. I want to disable this.
I think some distros disable the prompt by using the login password to unlock the keyring, but I use auto-login (if that makes a difference).
OpenSUSE :: SSH Script - Make Changes To Several Computers At Once In A Private Network
May 17, 2011I'm trying to make changes to several computers at once in a private network. I have ssh keys setup so that I can ssh from the main computer to all the other computers without having to enter my password. So I wrote a bash script like for computers in `cat computer list` do ssh $computers #type changes here exit done
but instead of executing the commands on every computer, it opens a shell on every computer for me to type into, just as if I had used ssh myself and not in a script. how to get this to work? I want to be able to add lines at the comment like "echo "test" > /testFile.txt" and be able to see the changes on each machine, in this case see testFile.txt on every machine.

Aug 10, 2010My ISP has for a long time had a broken forward/reverese DNS so that my ADSL connection with static IP address resolves to a completely different IP address on a reverse query. This has not been a problem until I upgraded a remote server from 10.3 to 11.3 last weekend and now ssh connections from my ADSL connection to it using public/private keys are being rejected with the following message in /var/log/messages (IP addresses changed):
Aug 10 12:00:32 penguin1 sshd[1270]: Address 83.175.246.243 maps to 83-175-246-243.static.dsl.aupex.com, but this does not map back to the address - Possible Break in Attempt!
But if I log in interactively with username & password, the connection succeeds. I've changed the StrictModes setting in sshd_config to 'no' but this hasn't resolved the problem. Obviously something in 11.3 is being stricter about this IP mismatch than it was in 10.2 (and no, the server is not using a firewall). There must be something I can change to make sshd more permissive? I've tried before to get my ISP to fix their problem but no luck. This needs to be sorted as a server at my home (which does not run SuSE) retrieves backups from the remote OpenSuSE 11.3 server every night using scp and these are now failing.
OpenSUSE Network :: Login Uses Local Password Instead Of Nis Password?
Jul 2, 2011I have setup a nis server and client. At first I didn't have a local user defined on the client. The client then used the user and passwords from NIS, so that was ok.
The problem then is, that when the server is down, I couldn't login to my client anymore. So I created a local user with the same name on the client but with a different password (after I shut the nis server down, if nis server was on, I couldn't create a local user with the same name). I then edited etc/nssswitch.conf as follows:
Code:
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Legal entries are:
#
# compat Use compatibility setup
[Code].....
If NIS server is on: client has to login with the nis password If NIS server is down: client has to login with the local password (as fallback)
However the actual behaviour is that I can only login with the local password now. The NIS pasword doesn't seem to be used anymore.
Ubuntu :: Ssh And - Enter Password To Unlock The Private Key
Oct 30, 2010Since upgrading to Meerkat, I have been getting a pop-up window with the message "Enter password to unlock the private key" every time I attempt to ssh into a server that does NOT use password authentication. I know some people like the remember password "feature", but I prefer just a plain unadulterated ssh session in a terminal. Does anyone know how to stop this message?
So far I have unsucessfully tried:
None of the above worked - and I was sure to log out and back in before testing the behavior.

Jan 21, 2010I'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.
Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.
What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication
Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").
So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.
I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.

Server :: Configuring Sendmail For A Private Network?
Jul 6, 2009My goal is to have users(Unix Users like root on host1) use evolution /sendmail to send and receive emails between users( Unix users either from host1 or any other host on n a private network. The network is a private network with a few servers without any connection to Internet and no DNS. They resolve one another by /etc/hosts. with smtp configured am able to send and receive emails on one machine(host1) from unix user abc on host1 to user xyz on host1 and vice versa. the commad i used to test is host1@abc #echo "this is a test mail" |mailx zyx@host1 But when i tried sending from user abc on host1 to user xyz on host2 its giving error for DNS unable to resolve hostname.
the commad i used to test is host1@abc# echo "this is a test mail" |mailx zyx@host2 create a simple sendmail config so that i can send mails between multiple hosts using unix usernames within one network. I can use one of the server as mail server and rest as clients. I dont want to configure any other softwares for pop or imap access. I want to keep it simple and use evolution on the clients to send emails between one another on the private network without internet.

Jan 11, 2011We have to connect one PC in private network (campus) with other PC (mostly a modem in our case)in public network. Connection should be peer to peer like and we have to use C coding for establishing connection between this two systems. Is it possible if we use port forwarding or is there any other way?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: Individually Address Hosts In Private Network From The Outside
May 24, 2011The facts are as follows:
1. I have at work a regular LAN with many PCs, each with a DNS-registered public IP. Therefore I am able to address each of these PCs by their fully-qualified names and, for instance, initiate ssh sessions to any of these computers just by typing "ssh <name_of_machine>" from a terminal.
2. Within the aforementioned LAN I have just created a private network with some clients, which access the LAN through a router (a D-link DIR-825). We have created this private network for many reasons, but most importantly because we need to guarantee that the hosts in this network will remain networked among them even if the LAN goes down for any reason (which unfortunately happens often). But we still need to have access to the hosts in the private network from the LAN.
3. I am able to define port forwarding rules in the router in order to access certain services on the private network's clients. For example. I am able to access (by ssh) hosts "H1" and "H2" on the private network from a client on the LAN by defining rules for forwarding ports "P1" and "P2" on the router's public IP to TCP port 22 on the private IPs of "H1" and "H2", respectively. Then I would access each of these hosts from the LAN by using:
>ssh -p P1 [ip.address.of.router] (for accessing H1) and >ssh -p P2 [ip.address.of.router] (for accessing H2)
4. The problem with the port forwarding approach is that it is not easily scalable. For instance, If I wanted to enable ssh access to each host in the private network, I would have to define a port forwarding rule for each machine, and then REMEMBER all these port rules when initiating a ssh session from the LAN in order to point to the right host. And the problem gets worse when considering more services in addition to ssh.
5. The ideal solution would be to be have a means for addressing each host in the private network individually, in much the same way in which I address the hosts in the LAN (which have DNS-registered names). For instance, in order to access hosts H1 and H2 as in the previous example, i would like to be able to just type
>ssh [name_of_host_H1] (for accessing H1) and >ssh [name_of_host_H2] (for accessing H2)
The bottom line:
I guess I can say that what I need is some kind of combined DNS-ing and routing that allows me to communicate with the hosts in the private network from outside of it in a transparent way.
The question is: what are any possible solutions for accomplishing this? I have searched the web and found stuff about things like VPNs, reverse-proxies and NAT servers, but I really can't understand if any of these could serve to solve my problem (BTW, isn't my router doing some sort of NAT-ing already? could I just add some DNS-ing in some way?)
Networking :: Server Can't Ping Other Boxes On Private Network
Jul 27, 2011I run a server that is connected to several other boxes in a private network (192.168.0.0). I have had no problems previously, but upon a reinstall of Debian squeeze I have no connectivity to the private network: a ping of other addresses on that network fail. Ping and connection to outside world is fine. This box is configured similarly to another on this private network which connects successfully. I have quadruple-checked all my basic information. I post my ifconfig below of the malfunctioning device, then the ifconfig for equivalent nic on a box connected succesfully to the private network.
Questions:
1.Could it be a cable problem? (I don't see how since the cables have not been changed I do not believe since my reinstallation).
2. What about the difference in the last lines of eth1 below and eth2 of the successful box. Is it significant that the bad eth1 reads Memory:fc3a0000-fc3c0000

Jul 25, 2011I have users using Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux (Fedora) and Mac. They all are in a single private network and all access internet through a Linux (RHEL5) system in which Squid acts as gateway. The same is true with my branch offices too except that private network is different and gateway system uses Fedora 9 instead of RHEL5. All the branch offices are connected through point to point leased lines with the head office for file transfer.
My requirement is this: I have a web server located at head office. Presently I am able to access this server from my branch offices through internet. I would like to access this server from branch offices through leased lines. This too I am able to access if I do routing in users system. The file transfer is taking place through one to one system at two ends by creating static routing in those systems.

OpenSUSE Network :: Prompted For A Password When Accessing A Windows 7 Share?
Feb 14, 2010I have searched for days on this problem and no one seems to have the fix. Everyone else seems to go off on tangents.I have 3 computers. One runs XP pro, one runs Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and one runs openSUSE 11.2.The two windows machines can share files between each other with no problems.On suse I setup samba correctly. When I go to Computer -> Network on suse, I then go into Samba Shares. Then I see my workgroup name. I click to go in and I can see all 3 of my PC's listed here.When I click on my XP pro machine,am prompted for a user name and password. I put it in and I gain access perfectly.
When I click on my Windows 7 machine, I am prompted for a user name and password. I enter it in and it prompts me again for the user name and password. It will not let me in.I have changed all of the settings in 7, I have disabled the firewall, I have changed the security policies, I have changed the encryption strength.Simply Samba is nolaying well with Windows 7. I cannot believe that I am the only one with this problem
