Re: [Wlug] sshfs + certificate files + fstab?

Sure, http://goonathon.net/misc/x.mount I keep in it ~/bin/ . I mount everything under ~/ssh/ (sshfs) or ~/ftp/ (curlftpfs). Usage: $ x.mount $ x.mount ~/ssh/bluebutton.com To unmount, $ fusermount -u /home/guinan/ssh/bluebutton.com but I usually mount as-needed and forget about it. -Jamie On Fri, 21 Sep 2007, Eric Stein wrote: > Could I get a look at that script? > > Eric > > Jamie Guinan wrote: > > What userid is invoking sshfs?

Re: [Wlug] sshfs + certificate files + fstab?

by Matt Nicholson

I could be wrong with this, but, while playing with Tomboy note syncing over ssh, one uses FUSE+sshfs, and for them to work, you need to have your key in a running instance of ssh-agent (any ssh agent will do i think). So, for it to work, ssh-agent has to be running for me @ login. This "might" be your issue. Then again I could be way off.

Re: [Wlug] sshfs + certificate files + fstab?

by Jamie Guinan

What userid is invoking sshfs? If its in /etc/fstab, and you're using a setuid /bin/mount, it might be looking for authorized_keys under the setuid id's homedir (root?). In which case, you might also want to add "-o allow_other", and double-check the other sshfs options. Since I'm the only user of my sytsem, I use a little script, do it all under my userid, and avoid /etc/fstab. -Jamie On Fri, 21 Sep 2007, Eric Stein wrote: > I already do this for normal ssh and it doesn't work for sshfs - I get > queried for my password anyway. > > Eric > > Mike Leo wrote: > > Create an ssh key on the local machine and put the public portion of > > it into the remote servers /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys file then > > you can ssh(fs) without a password > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >

Mike, Are you getting any log output from sshd on the remote host? -Adam On 9/21/07, Eric Stein <eastein(a)wpi.edu> wrote: > I already do this for normal ssh and it doesn't work for sshfs - I get > queried for my password anyway. > > Eric > > Mike Leo wrote: > > Create an ssh key on the local machine and put the public portion of > > it into the remote servers /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys file then > > you can ssh(fs) without a password > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >

Re: [Wlug] sshfs + certificate files + fstab?

by Klein, Richard

That's a topic I've been meaning to ask about for a long time, but never got around to: I have a server that I refer to as rich.richardklein.org, mail.richardklein.org, smtp.richardklein.org, and gs750.richardklein.org (and I may have missed another alias). It serves web pages, mail, and FTP (and again, I may have forgotten something). How do I decide which name to use for the certificate? Do I generate different certificates for mail (where I usually use mail.richardklein.org) and web (where I usually use rich.richardklein.org)? -- Rich > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Leo > > Create an ssh key on the local machine and put the public > portion of it into the remote servers > /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys file then you can ssh(fs) > without a password

I already do this for normal ssh and it doesn't work for sshfs - I get queried for my password anyway.

Create an ssh key on the local machine and put the public portion of it into the remote servers /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys file then you can ssh(fs) without a password ----- Original Message ---- From: Eric Stein <eastein(a)WPI.EDU> To: Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 10:28:47 AM Subject: [Wlug] sshfs + certificate files + fstab? Eric, I remember you mentioned you knew how to use sshfs with certificates for passwordless mounting at the last meeting when we went out for pizza. How was that done?
