I manage a few Linux servers and I need a fast way to connect to these servers instead of having to enter the root password every time.
Is there anyway to save the passwords/keys and connect to the servers by simply typing: SSH user@ip
Or even something easier without typing the server IP like I had Putty in Windows. I know I can still use Putty but I want to use a better SSH client, like GNOME Terminal.
I've been working on this since last night (a few hours) but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I'll spare you the details of what I've tried already.
Could someone guide me through connecting to my Ubuntu server using a remote X session? The "kicker" is that I want to do this from a Knoppix LIVE CD. So whatever method I am given will have to be something that is common to most Linux distros.
I imagine I will need help with two important steps:
1) verifying that I have an xserver of some kind running on my server.
2) command line statement for starting the Xserver from the remote machine.
When ever i run ssh -p <port> <user>@<remote IP>, i get a connection has timed out error. (i use the -p <port> part because i'm using a custom port). does anyone know what could be causing this? i know of a few *possible* problems, but i don't know how to test them all.
- I am on the same network as the server (I'm trying to test using remote IP to make sure it works before i go out an try it somewhere else)
-The router could be blocking it (i'm using linksys)
-IPtables may not be set up right (i think it is though. the only thing i've run is "sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT". I have changed the port for the server since then. maybe i have to restart it or something for it to recognise the change? I know very little about IPtables though).
-maybe i have to change something in my client or server config files? (the only config file i've changed is the sshd_config file on the seerver, and that was to change the port to my custom port).
thats all i can think of for now. It may be none of those. I do have the sshd_config and port forwarding in my router set to the same port, so thats good.
Has anyone noticed ABRT not being able to connect to Bugzilla or the remote Core Dump analysis server? Since my upgrade during the beta phase of F15 I have been unable to file bug reports from ABRT's traces, nor has it offered me the option to file bugs to bugzilla. What it does, however, is offer me to analyse the Core Dump and backtrace of the crash using either the remote server or locally with GDB. Needless to say I'm clueless in GDB, and it requires a LOT of debug symbols found in the corresponding debug packages. But trying to use the remote analysis server always results in a message of the server being busy and to try again later. IIRC the last time I was able to file a bug through ABRT was in 13, has anyone been able to do so in 15?

The two options I've come up with are (1) notify-send/pynotify which lets me pop up a notification bubble in the top right of my screen which is perfect, but can't seem to include a text entry field; and (2) zenity and similar which bring up a window with a text field, but steal focus when they do.

I found that if any usual user is logged into a NDS-tree, then _local_ root has full access to user's network shares, including the user's home directory located on remote Netware-server. Is it by design or
have I missed something? Nevertheless in windows local admin has no access to network resources mounted of any other user. If you runas shell (as admin) then admin in principle can't "see" network shares which were mounted (connected) by other users - they are accessible ("visible") per session.

I am working on a project where I need to connect to a remote MS SQL Server database with PHP from a CentOS 5.5 server. I was able to get it installed and working on my Mac OS X 10.6 laptop with unixODBC and FreeTDS. However, I am unable to get it configured on my CentOS server. unixODBC and FreeTDS were installed, but when I try to connect, I get the following error message:
Connection Failed:[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0' : /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
From what I could find by scouring the internets,it appears that I have 32 bit unixODBC (or FreeTDS, I'm not sure) installed (libtdsodbc.so.0 is symlinked to libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0) and it needs to be 64 bit. However, when I try to install the 64 bit version with
yum install freetds.x86_64
I get a message that it is already installed.Is there something else I need to do to get around this error? I'm a developer and not a server, so I'm not sure where else to go.
To be sure that the remote desktop was working, I tried from home, where I have both the laptop I want to connect to and the laptop from which I make the connection. It worked without any problem, but now I'm trying to connect from my work place and it's not working anymore. Both are connected to the same VPN, so I don know where the problem comes from.

I've been trying to figure out how to set up vsftpd on a test machine to emulate the ftp setup on our current ftp server. I was able to track down part of what I needed with the gracious help of poster AlucardZero on this forum, who pointed out that the vsftpd process likely being run via xinetd.
I've managed (or so I thought) to set everything up correctly - but I cannot connect to my test box as the user the ftp client program we're using expects. I can see in the vsftpd log that I'm making contact, but the client program is automatically failing, and attempts to get in from the Windows command line (ftp <ip>) request user and password, then fail out with '530 Login incorrect'.
Everything I've seen online so far indicates that the ftp login for a local user (with vsftpd configuration settings including anonymous_enable=NO and local_enable=YES) should be the same as the 'normal' login for that user, and that the passwords should be the same as well. This is the case on the current FTP server, where a Windows command line login uses the same password as attempting to su into the user in question. On my test machine, I can su into the user in question with the password as well. I simply cannot seem to connect with this user via ftp.
Below are the things I've found so far during my search on the two servers:
Code:
I'm obviously missing something simple, because I've read many posts on this site and others concerning successful setups - I simply haven't managed one on my own. Most of these eventually boiled back down to this howto page, and I've tried to follow the 'add and change user' instructions shown there to no avail.
Im trying to limit the diskspace users on the system may consume, and i found quotas (im a total linux noob). But when i try to set it, no matter what i set it to the maximus is 2 GB. Now... i need quite a lot more than that. One user should be able to use 1900 GB and the other 600 GB. How can i fix this? Im using ubuntu server 10.04.

im using "rdesktop -u username ip" in the terminal to connect to a windows machine on another lan.
i can connect and see plus control the desktop but i cant see what the user is doing and neither can the user see what im doing on his machine.
is there a way with rdesktop or another app that i can use that allows me to control the remote user's machine and at the same time allow him to see what im doing and visa versa ?
I'm wondering if there's a way so that several people can log onto my computer at the same time. When they connect it goes to the login screen and they choose their account and log in. Everybody has a different account and sees a different desktop. Is that possible?
