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.

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?

Re: [Wlug] Can Feisty Fawn solve an iPod problem?

by douglas.r.aker＠verizon.com

Thanks Brad for the additional help. Been looking for a new area to explore in the world of Linux. Hmm, "Linux and iPods," interesting... Doug p.s. Being a big fan of the movie "2001, A Space Odyssey," I had to laugh reading the following from the entry for iPod in Wikipedia: The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship. Also movie title, 2001, same as Apple iPod launch date, October, 2001 brad <maitre(a)ccs.neu.edu> Sent by: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org 09/19/2007 06:31 PM Please respond to Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> To Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> cc Subject Re: [Wlug] Can Feisty Fawn solve an iPod problem? Doug, You do not want to copy folders from the ipod. iTunes organizes the ipod directories in a non-trivia manor. I would suggest using banshee or amarok to read the iTunesDB on the ipod. You may need to tell these programs where the ipod is located, e.g. /media/ipod/. You can drag and drop the songs from the ipod to your local machine, note you may need to tell these programs where to copy these files in your home directory. Explore these programs, banshee and amarok, to learn how to use them to get the most out of your ipod. - brad On Wed, 19 Sep 2007 12:35:24 -0400, douglas.r.aker(a)verizon.com wrote: > Thanks Ben for your input. > > But when you say "copy them over to Vista PC," my question is, Copy what? > When I mount iPod on Linux laptop, I see a complex directory structure > under /media/ipod.
