ssh key type ?

2003-07-01 Thread Allan M. Stewart
I'm curious if there is any clear cut preference in choosing RSA or DSA keys. I have been using DSA since this guarantees a connection under protocol version 2. There is no DSA support under protocol version 1. Also, I seem to recall (but now can't find) that there was some question about

iptables

2003-06-04 Thread Allan M. Stewart
Where is the best place for iptables help? Is there a mailing list? I've tried the one listed at netfilter.org, but that seems to be Tango Uniform (dead). Setting default policy doesn't seem to work with "REJECT" or "DENY". "ACCEPT" or "DROP" seem to work ok. I try adding rules based on inte

Older c++ libs ?

2003-04-02 Thread Allan M. Stewart
A developer here is trying to find the correct libs (iostreams) to use to link with headers found in /usr/include/g++-3 . Can someone point me to the right libs or RPM for those libs? Thanks, Allan -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/

iptables (netfilter) mailing list ?

I've tried several times to get on the netfilter mailing list, but the confirmation never works. Is that mailing list still active? Is this or another place the best place for iptables questions? Thanks, Allan -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailma

security updates ?

2003-03-24 Thread Allan M. Stewart
I'm working in an environment where management is overly sensitive to changes. We've been developing and QA'ing on a 8.0 install basically straight out of the box. Our fielded systems will have a minimum install with very few extras. Certainly SSH will need to be updated. Probably several others.

Pushing updates ?

2003-02-12 Thread Allan M. Stewart
What is the best way to update many servers at customer sites? Let say for example that a new SSH package comes out. Since this is security related, we probably DO want to get this update on all of our servers in customer sites. Isn't there something better than telnet'ing into each server, FTP'

[Fwd: Binary only RPM ??]

2003-02-07 Thread Allan M. Stewart
This is probably the wrong place to ask, hopefully someone can point me to the right place. I am new to making RPMs. I've read over the "maximum RPM" guide and don't understand how (or if possible) to do a simple binary-only RPM. The guide seems to imply that you must do a build in order to c

Where's xlock??

2003-01-15 Thread Allan M. Stewart
Somewhere in the up2dates (?) around Christmas time xlock has quietly disappeared from my system. I've gone through the package manager and I have damn near everything installed. I copied the binary from a 7.3 machine. It locked fine but would not unlock so I de-installed it. xlock is very us

ctags found

2002-10-22 Thread Allan M. Stewart
FYI, Last week I posted a msg to the list asking what happened to ctags since it was AWOL after a clean install of 8.0 . I finally got around to searching for it today and found it in the XEmacs package. I don't use emacs, but did have it installed anyway on past versions. Certainly not where on

X-windows client display

2002-10-08 Thread Allan M. Stewart
Yesterday I did a clean install (not upgrade) of 8.0 over my previous 7.3. Now I can't display X-Windows apps running on a remote machine, even after using "xhost +remotemachine" locally and "export DISPLAY=localmachine:0" on the remote machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with iptables,
