Reminder: Upcoming Meeting Wed Oct 10th

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Our next WLUG meeting is approaching soon. On Wednesday, October 10th, 2007, we'll be having our Newbie Night at WLUG. On this occasion, new Linux users are most welcome to attend and ask their questions to the more experienced Linux users in a non-intimidating environment. Experienced folks are also welcome to attend to help out the new users. Try to remember what it was like when you were a new user and tailor your answers accordingly! The new folks will be very appreciative. Also, if some people would be willing to burn a few CDs or DVDs with their favorite Linux distribution or Live CD, then the new users will have choices that they can take home and try at their leisure. My personal recommendations would be Knoppix, (K)ubuntu, OpenSuse, Damn Small Linux, and some RedHat derivative (Fedora, CentOS, etc). Feel free to share whatever your favorite may be. I also think that a few laptops running these different distros would be great demo tools for the new users. One last note: unfortunately, I will not be present for this meeting. I will be in Austin, TX on business. I've asked Chuck and Frank if they would run the meeting. Just because I can't make it, you should all still get together and enjoy the meeting. This is your chance to make fun of me in my absence (as opposed to doing so in my presence!). :-) I will have access to email during my trip. Have fun, and remember, we were all new...once upon a time.

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

by Jamie Guinan

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
