One of those you posted was the pegdhcp one. If that's the one I'm thinking of (where you allocate addresses on the basis of "who got which tent peg"), then at GUADEC this year, I met a guy who well remembered putting this into practice on a campsite used for a hacking convention. Apparently you only need three (different sorts of?) implementations to turn one of the "suggestions, advisories" sort of RFC into a "this is now a real live standard" sort... :) (Corrections and explanations of RFCs and peg DCHP welcomed: I'm stopping there because I'm rather hazy on both :)) Telsa ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] su and PATH?

Even if you telnet to the machine as a normal user everything you type in is in plain text: Also your ROOTPASSWORD can be read by everyone in between I would suggest to ssh to the remote machine as a normal user and do 'su -l root' or ssh to the machine as root to have an encrypted connection...

[techtalk] Time stamps on copies of files
Hi, Does anyone know how I can copy a file and keep the original time stamp (ie, not the time at which it was copied, but when the original was last modified)? (Using RedHat 6.0 if it makes a difference.) Thanks in advance, Katherine. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] Time stamps on copies of files
cp -p -p to preserve original file info (permissions, ownership, date, etc.) man cp for more!

[techtalk] sshd2 disconnects
Hello all, I've got a server running rh 6.2 with sshd2 v. 2.3.0. I and my comrades connect remotely using the secureCRT client (version 3.1) Anyway, the darn thing disconnects us at seemingly random intervals (usually in the middle of typing some long command) with the following error: The SSH Server disconnected with the following message : Protocol error : packet 5 in interactive (reason code : 2) It does not appear to be a timeout issue; anyone seen this or have any ideas? It is really quite irritating. Thanks, Naomi ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

Re: [techtalk] sshd2 disconnects
Just saw this happen with the exact same config you describe below. My husband says it happens to him only when his session is idle. I haven't used SecureCRT to connect to my RH 6.2 servers running sshd2 2.3.0, but I can say that I don't see this error making connections from the ssh2 2.3.0 client on the Linux platform. Our dialup connection had dropped when it happened; it it possible you have latency problems on your connection that mimic/look like a termination? -S - Original Message - From: "Naomi Hospodarsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2000 12:51 PM Subject: [techtalk] sshd2 disconnects | Hello all, | | I've got a server running rh 6.2 with sshd2 v. 2.3.0.
