I performed a F13 to F14 upgrade today and it went very well. The only problem I'm having is that I can longer Telnet to the machine.The client side returns a "connection closed by foreign host" message or "connection to host lost", depending on the client.The /var/log/messages file contains "FATAL: bad tty" following every telnet attempt.I receive the same error even when trying to telnet to localhost on the local machine.

I wanna paste my /var/log/maillog but i don't know how, when i copy from putty screen it's only copied part of the log.
btw i found one similar problem here [URL] but the thread starter already lost the pastebin so i don't know how he resolved the problems.
i try to connect to a specific ip address with ssh i have installed the ssh server and client. i also try it by connecting with localhost without any problem. But i keep taking this message if to try to connect to the ip address. i checked my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files and all are commented in there (i think tha this should not be the problem).

Saying that the problem is only with ssh would be wrong as I can't seem to telnet or ftp it either. But I can ping it fine.When I try to login to that VM through console, it won't even let me login. The screen would flash for a sec and the same login prompt would reappear. I am not sure what exactly happened as it was working fine before.

I have set up SSH and redirected the ssh server to listen on another port other than 22 for a bit of added security.
Now in hosts.deny I have:
ALL : ALL
In hosts.allow I have:
SSH : ip_address_of_client
I can no longer connect. I get the message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.
When I change hosts.allow to read:
ALL : ip_address_of_client
I can successfully connect the server.
However, I only want to allow SSH access in hosts.allow. What is the correct syntax?
I have tried and failed with each one of these:
SSH : ip_address:port_number
SSH2 : ipaddress
sshfwd-portnumber : ip_address_of_client
I have read many tutorials and guides on how to apply authentication to SMTP on postfix and so far had no look making it work, I do have authentication on dovecot on the pop3 and IMAP servers I have been trying to make this work now for on and off 3 months now and am completely stumped I am running my own server with a dynamically IP address but I have a DNS service to give me a fixed domain name which works. as I am on a dynamic IP I can't send email to external accounts as they need to to through a relay host but I cant set that up until there is some form of authentication on the smtp of postfix even if its just plain-text
originality I ran a windows server with hmailserver which was so easy to setup and use
I have postfix, dovecot, sasld installed
below are my postfix main.cf file and I can post my dovecot if needs be
Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

I am running a spam filter on debian lenny 5.1 with postfix, amavis-new, spamassassin, and clamav. It works pretty well but I would like to finish tweaking it to minimize the mail getting quarantined. It really isn't quarantining anything that isn't spam, except for an occasional list mailer. However, the quarantine is huge, and takes a while to go through. I noticed that much of the spam is coming from foreign country tld's like .cz is there anyway to have postfix run a check on the header and if the email, or smtp origination is from a server from a foreign tld have it just rejected. I can whitelist anything if need be in the future but as of now we don't do any business overseas and don't need to worry about blocking legit email.
I think this should be possible, however, I am unsure of the syntax for the file, where to put it and if wildcards are possible in domain blocking like
Code:
*.cz REJECT
Netstat has always confused me. I ype netstat -pl and get this:
Code:

tcp 0 0 localhost:postgresql *:* LISTEN 13816/postgres

udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:* 1267/dhclient
I assume that *:* means that any foreign host can connect from any port, but then what does [::]:* mean? and localhost:ipp... what port is ipp? Shouldn't ports be numeric?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem between a jail root (so a group of users can access through sftp to Apache directory (var/www) an not get out of this directory.
1. I have the group 'sftponly', I need to access / var / www for sftp (read only)
2. On the other hand I need that user www-data (Apache) is the owner or at least have write permissions in the same directory (/ var / www)
The problem comes when the two needs together, as from what I read, to do jailroot in a directory is necessary for the owner is root and any other user has write permissions on it.
If along the jailroot with write permissions then attempt to connect to the client via sftp throws me the following error: "Error: Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
Permissions system User/group/Others doensn't work to me, so I tried it with ACL, but I have the same problem when I grant write permissions to the apache user.
Does anyone know how can I do for the user www-data can have write permission in the Apache directory and be able to create a user or group of users who are "locked"in this directory to enter sftp?

And this is strange. 174.132.240.146 seems to be the web address 'net.net'. I am sure this has to be some setting in postfix, cuz its trying to deliver the email to 'fidelix@net', and that cant be right.

We got a new server with 2 network interface cards with 4 MAC addresses in total. We would like to run two virtual machines (vserver1 and vserver2); one should connect via eth1, the other via eth2, and the host (mainserver) via eth0. The content of /etc/network/interfaces is as follows:
[Code]....
A connection from mainserver to vserver1 or vserver2 is not possible; a ssh connection from mainserver to vserverx ends with a login to mainserver.
I have a Postfix+Dovecot and virtual users setup taken from here. I've got virtual users authenticating using a password file. But I'd like to lock the service down further, so authenticated users can only email other authenticated users (those listed in the same password file) - so it's a closed community. I don't seem to be able to stop authenticated users mailing outside the community.

I want to setup my MySQL database and have MySQL up and running. I sill look for a good editor to add and configure my tables, it appears that MySQL Administrator is the only GUI client available.
But when I try to add a foreign key to one of my tables, there appears to be a problem. Both of my tables are InnoDB and both have a primary key.
-First I choose the tab "Foreign Keys" on my CLIENT table.
-Then I press the green + sign to add a foreign key, it is default named new_fk_constraint.
-I choose my table USER in the Refer.Table dropdownbox
-And then I should be able to match the FK field and the PK field in the box on the right... but this box is empty. Double clicking shows nothing. I only can drag the user_id of the USER table to it, but have no option to select the foreign column.
What the hell is wrong here??? This client is years old and should be really REALLY working IMHO! I was told by a friend that there is no good client available and therefore he is using some Windows program for this...
As the title implies, I'm having an issue with svn, whenever I try to make an svn action, I get: svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly
I've done some Google-fu on this, and the obvious culprits don't seem to be at work. Specifically, the svn server does not use a nonstandard port, and I'm not using Tortoise SVN or putty, just going directly from the command line. Additionally, I was able to use the server as recently as this morning and no coworkers are having problems.
I have a weird problem with ssh, I am trying to ssh to a solaris server (sparc) running solaris 10 from my Ubuntu box and as soon as it authenticates the password it closes the connection. The box is located on a internal network in a wiring closet with no ability for me to access console but i still have a working ssh session from 2 days ago with what i'm trying to comb through settings and trying to resolve the issue. It also has 2 NIC's and I cannot connect to the either ruling out hardware problem. I checked if there is a limit of the number of active connections and the was no limit. I was able to connect mitiple session till 2 days ago (at one point i had on my machine 8 active ssh sessions to the same server).

I am facing problem while connection to host (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5)) via putty.
when ever i try to connect host machine via putty/ssh, connection is established succussfully but just after few minutes it disconnectes . same is the problem if i connect using VNC. I did't made any configuration changes in recent past, earlier every thing was fine.
I'm a frequent user of the shared connection feature of SSH. Usually i have two or three connections open at the same time through the connection sharing feature, but sometimes when i try to start another i get the message "Shared connection to <server< closed". All the connection that are established through the connection sharing feature are still active and not closed, but when i try to create a new one i get that message.. i've even got that message when i have only had two connections through the shared connection feature.
I've tried to search google but it doesnt seem like anyone else has had the same kind of problem, does someone know why i sometimes get this error ?
I'm forwarding an application (HandBrakegui) over an ssh tunnel using X11 forwarding as follows
ssh -C -p PORTNUM user@host -X ghb
This all works fine and X11 loads and handbrake's X11 output to my local mac.The server is Ubuntu 10.4 and the client is Mac OS X.Is it possible for the X11 HandBrake Gui session to be kept alive once the SSH tunnel or the X11 window on the client (mac) has been closed? As I'm adding files to HandBrakes queue I want the programme to finish encoding them even if I turn off the client computer as the server is always on.

setting up an SFTP server on debian, all the way down through step 3, though I did not "Match Group" I did Match User as I only need 1 user to have access to the SFTP server(did not continue on to step 4 and beyond as they did not apply to me) Im getting the error:
connection closed by server with exitcode 141
I get this when trying to log in via filezilla. I actually only got the 141 error on the first attempt, any attempts after that just says "could not connect to server". Username and password authentication goes through, so it is not a login info issue.Im running Debian squeeze, and that guide was for Lenny, that shouldnt matter, I dont think.
I have installed Fedora 13 and updated it. I simply cant use ssh to connect to this Fedora, not even locally. I have enabled port22 in firewall settings and nothing. Tried to disable firewall completely and nothing. I have disabled SELinux (not sure if it has something to do with this, but... ) and nothing. Entered "ALL: ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow and still nothing. Dont know what to do anymore.
Here is what happens when I try to ssh to this machine, even from it:
[flibio@surf ~]$ ssh localhost
warning: Need basic cursor movement capability, using vt100
flibio's password:
Authentication successful.
Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed.).
Connection to localhost closed.
[flibio@surf ~]$
Looking into Services > sshd and it says "This service is dead."
So I tried:
[root@surf etc]# service sshd restart
Stopping sshd: [FAILED]
Starting sshd: : OpenSSH_5.4p1 on
: FATAL: Creating listener failed: port 22 probably already in use! .....
And still I get disconnected whenever I try to ssh to this machine from anywhere. Services says that sshd is allways dead, even restarting it but I can only restart it by doing a pkill sshd before.
In my case, it occurs intermittently when trying to connect using putty's command line client 'plink.exe' to a linux machine using ssh. For some testing purposes, a linux server is setup with 8K virtual ip addresses and the testing scripts will connect to these ip addresses through ssh using plink.exe. There will be concurrently 25 ssh sessions launched to the server. While it works for sometimes, it throws 'server unexpectedly closed network connection' error intermittently. If the same ip address is tried again manually, it works. While the ssh server is accepting connections, this error is thrown sometimes and unable to find out the reason from the logs. It is not that the ssh connection is completely blocked. It gives this error message while connecting to some of the virtual ip addresses but works some times.
The hosts.deny, sshd_config are tuned to allow the connections, allow more sessions etc.
