[Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[Richard T. <ri...@th...>]

Okay, I need some help here. I have done everything I can think of to =
get the SSH connection to Trinux operational. I am using the .80rc2-ide =
boot image to bootup. I followed the directions in the Remote Admin doc. =
I have tried Win98->Trinux and Trinux->Trinux. The closest I get is a =
prompt for the root@<ip-address> password. I generated the keys using =
the MindTerm java demo. I copied the public key to the =
'/tux/pkg/opensshd/keys' file. The public key becomes the =
'/.ssh/authorized_keys' file on the target box. The private key is on =
the source box. I placed 'opensshd' in the '/tux/config/pkglist' file =
right before the 'openssh' package. Should I be having to manually start =
'sshd'? Does it look like I am doing anyything amiss? All help is much =
appreciated. Thanks.

I have looked at opensshd and cleaned it up a little.

I need to submit it to Matt, to make sure I didn't break anything he is 
doing.

I think I fixed most of these sshd problems some people are having...

Look for an updated opensshd.tgz and openssh.tgz soon.

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

The new packages are up on the following sites:

http://www.trinux.org/pkg/
http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/
http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/pkg/

If you use and OpenSSH client (I'm assuming 2.x or greater) you will need
to generate a DSA key with

# ssh-keygen -t dsa

to generate the id_dsa.pub that will get added to /.ssh/authorized_keys2
just as

# ssh-keygen

created the identity.pub which got added to /.ssh/authorized_keys

if you have SSH1 keys (authorized_keys) you will have to connect with the
ssh -1 command, otherwise you'll get prompted for a password.

I have not yet tested retrieving saved keys from the floppy although they
do get saved properly.

And a big thanks to Tim for all his help on this!!!!

Thanks for your patience and let me know if you have any more problems.
I'll try to update the docs shortly.

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[David E. <da...@ti...>]

still no luck I am afraid here is what I am doing to try and get this
working:

boot trinux and load both openssh and opensshd. I then run ssh-keygen and
create the key files without a passphrase this then creates two files
/.ssh/identity.pub and /.ssh/identity I then copy identity.pub into
authorized_keys by typing cp /.ssh/identity.pub /.ssh/authorized_keys. I
then type chmod 700 /.ssh , I can now login from the trinux machine by
typing ssh localhost -1 so I know that SSH is up and running. I then mount a
blank floppy disk by typing mount /dev/fd0 /mnt and copy the file
identity.pub from the /.ssh directory onto this blank floppy, I then unmount
the floppy and load up the online version of mindterm and click file then
connect. These are the settings I use for mindterm:

Server: IP address of trinux box
Port: 22
Username: left blank
Authentication: Public Key
Identity: Path to identity.pub file that I copied to floppy.

In the prefrences section the options I use are:

Protocol: SSH1
compression: None
Bind Address ticked
Allocate PTY ticked
Local Address: 127.0.0.1

When I try to connect it says:

MindTerm home: D:\WINNT\Java\mindterm\

Warning connecting using ssh1, consider upgrading server!

Connected to server running SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9p2
(IP address) login:

I press enter and I get the error:

Error connecting to oxygen.tilehill.ac.uk, reason:
-> RSA key file corrupt

I have also tried the latest version of putty and this refuses to open the
key

RE: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[Richard T. <ri...@th...>]

David,

Aren't you supposed to use the private
key (identity) not the public key
(identity.pub) with the MindTerm client?

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[<tb...@ti...>]

SSH is pretty tricky to setup.  Because it provides protection/security, 
it has several strict requirements.

This pre-release (0.8) beta version of Trinux (a minimal specialized 
version of Linux) is a really poor environment to learn the intracacies of 
SSH.

I thought I noticed earlier you mentioned relocating the public key from 
the destination to the source machine, buy I ignored it cause it is 
obvious to anyone who uses SSH regularly that it is the other way around.

You need to generate a key pair on the MindTerm Client.  Then put the 
public key onto the trinux box, into the authorized_keys or 
authorized_keys2 file.  Or both, if you don't know which one you got.
Perhaps Matt's instructions are not real clear on this.  He says he will 
rewrite the Docs someday...


The new SSH packages, require that openssh be loaded before opensshd, 
failure to do so will generate an error message, but it goes by quickly, 
so you may miss it.  Make sure openssh precedes opensshd in your pkglist 
file.

Check on the Trinux box, that the host key was generated and placed in 
/usr/local/etc/, if I recall correctly.

You might try running sshd in debug mode, from the command line:

killall sshd
sshd -d -d -d

The output is cryptic, and it must be restarted after each attempt, but it 
helps.

When you get it running, and you can log in from your client, then run:

save-sshkeys on the Trinux box.  It should write the host keys and 
authorized-keys files to the floppy where they can be found next time you 
boot.  CD-ROM users must place the files by hand onto the cd image.

I think I left out the support for identity.pub..  There are so many other 
ways to restore the keys, and the identity.pub was SSH1 specific, etc...

I hope this helps...  Again, this is a really poor environment to be 
learning SSH....

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[<tb...@ti...>]

Also be sure that if you generated an SSH version 1 key that you put it 
in:
authorized_keys

If it is an SSH version 2 key, it gets put into:
authorized_keys2

I followed the directions in the Remote Admin doc. I have tried Win98->Trinux and Trinux->Trinux. The closest I get is a prompt for the root@<ip-address> password. I generated the keys using the MindTerm java demo. I copied the public key to the '/tux/pkg/opensshd/keys' file. The public key becomes the '/.ssh/authorized_keys' file on the target box. The private key is on the source box. I placed 'opensshd' in the '/tux/config/pkglist' file right before the 'openssh' package. Should I be having to manually start 'sshd'? Does it look like I am doing anyything amiss? All help is much appreciated. Thanks.
