CVS via SSH to FreeBSD server issues (being polite)

I know that this should be easy, I had it working before I reformatted and reinstalled Tiger but here goes anyway cause its kickin my (^&(^.
I have a FreeBSD server running CVS version 1.11.17
I am working on my PB running 10.4.6 - this is a new install from a retail copy of Tiger.
I have CVS version 1.11.12 & I have LinnCVS gui installed and working.
CVS is working on the laptop and I do have DarwinPorts installed as well as XCode.
SSH is installed and my public key is on my server and login without password works just fine!
The issue arises when I try to pull down my respositories to my local sandbox,
my server refuses the connection. This happens when I am logged in over SSH from another terminal session as well as when I am not.
I have issued from the command line as well as inside the gui LinnCVS app. to no avail.
At this point I am not sure where to look next but lets just say the longer I cant synch the further I get behind as well as more frustrated.
Any hints on what I might be missing would be very helpful!!
Thanks
Ted

Ted,
There is no way to set CVS_RSH in the "full synch command from the command line".
The easiest way to help you solve this is for you to reply with the following 2 pieces of information:
1) the output of the following command:
env
2) the exact, "full synch command" that you are entering on the command line.
You can censor sensitive information, such as usernames and ip addresses or server names if you so desire, but the command in its entirety, as well as the list of all your environment variables, would help me help you on this.

How do I get CVS w/ SSH working with Studio Creator?

I'm sure this has been answered before but I'm having real difficulties and I think I need a walkthrough. Other links I have found that supposedly answer this question have proved unsuccessful. I am running on Windows XP and the CVS repository is remote on a linux server.
I have been able to setup CVS via SSH using command line instructions and also using Eclipse. However I have been unsuccessful in setting up CVS with SSH inside of Studio Creator 2. Is there a line by line walkthrough or sample somewhere in order to confirm that I can get CVS working via SSH?

Well, it seems I've found a solution to my own problem. I was trying to use CVSNT and SSH Secure Shell. Apparently, the version of CVSNT I was using was old (although it came bundled with WinCVS which I was trying at the same time). After trying to install TortoiseCVS, I was told to update CVSNT or else TortoiseCVS would have problems. I removed CVSNT (and WinCVS), installed TortoiseCVS, and the exact same configuration I was using previously worked like a charm. Oh well... no more complaints by me!

Using a CVS repository via ssh from a Windows Machine

I'm trying to set up a connection
via ssh to a CVS repository (on Linux) with JDev 9.0.5.1
(build 1605) on Windows. I'd like to use password to
authenticate myself to CVS repository.
Shay Shmeltzer pointed me to
http://helponline.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/state?navSetId=jdeveloper&navId=4&vtTopicId=&vtTopicFile=jdeveloper/using_support_for_tbd/scm_p_settingupcvs.html
The solution explained there need access to the remote
server in order to insert the key in authorized_keys,
and we don't have this kind of access (the CVS repository
is not mantained by our company).
Do you think JDev will support password authentication
for CVS/ssh in some future release?
We're currently using WinCVS Client to access that
repository, and each time we connect to the
repository, a DOS windows appears asking us the password.
I guess that this could be a solution.
Thanks

We used to try to support popuping up the console, but that never worked too well from Java.
Here's some thoughts on the matter from an article at http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_ssh.htm
Hiding Your Password without Public Keys
If you want to avoid typing your password at the command line for each operation and don't have the ability to put your public key on the SSH server...
1. Create the following one-line Perl script and save it as my_ssh_cvs.pl
system("plink.exe", "-ssh", "-pw", "YOURPASSWORD", @ARGV);
2. Use PERL2EXE or ActiveState's perldevkit (perlapp -f my_ssh_cvs.pl) to create an executable from the script, e.g., my_ssh_cvs.exe
3. Delete my_ssh_cvs.pl
4. Run WinCVS
5. Select Admin/Preferences...
6. Click Settings... (for the ssh protocol)
7. Click "If ssh is not in the PATH" and enter my_ssh_cvs.exe
8. For "additional SSH options", leave it blank
(however use the external locator in the connection wizard in JDeveloper to locate the my_ssh_cvs.exe)
(note: this isn't officially suppported nor endorsed)

How to logout remote server via SSH

I have a server running flux, I just want to log it out (it auto-logs back in, no GDM screen). How do I do this if I'm connected to it via SSH? Again, I want to log out the server as though I would do ctrl+alt+backspace locally, but through SSH.
TIA

I just realised how you start your session by auto login, so my above answer was pretty useless. The way I manage my server with an occasional gui session is to just use gdm and start/stop the daemon as needed via ssh then switch to a vnc or xdmcp session.

Disable Non-Root Connections to WindowServer via SSH

I recall that in previous versions of Mac OS, one could not start an application in another user's workspace via SSH unless they were root, e.g. by running /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari at the prompt. The error given was something about being unable to make a connection to the windowserver. Root privileges were required to do so.
However, I note that now in Mountain Lion I can run, for example, the previous command and my Safari will pop up in the session of the currently logged in user, neither of us being root or even administators.
Is there a way to revert to the old behaviour (without disabling Remote Login, obviously)? I note some potential for evil, e.g. "/Applications/Utilities/Vine\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Vine\ Server &" to start a VNC server and, violá! surreptitious monitoring/control of active session...

This was previously not possible.
It has always been possible via the open(1) command. In any case, that doesn't matter. SSH access is unlimited access, unless you allow only public-key logins and specify a command to be executed in the authorized_hosts file. There is no security issue here.

Solaris 10 NFS client with FreeBSD server

Hello,
I have an issue about Solaris 10 and a FreeBSD server (currently running 5.4-STABLE). This server exports several NFS shares (3TB each) to various machines including Linux (which works fine) and Solaris (which worked fine on 9 but not 10).
The last progress was that if you link .sunw in the /home/$USER
directory to /tmp on Solaris 10, you can then use applications and ssh out from the server. It looks to me like a pure Solaris issue but i still have failed to find a way to fix it.
The mount options i currently have on solaris are :
rw,bg,nosuid,nfsver=3,tcp,intr,-w=32768,-r=32768
Also modified /etc/default/nfs to force NFS3 thinking it might have been the issue : NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=3
I have searched forums and search engines hoping to find an answer but have failed to see anything yet. As far as i can tell, it is a Solaris 10 issue but have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks for any help,
Steph

I also have this problem with FreeBSD 6.2 and Solaris 10 (was OK with Solaris 7 and 9).
The file system shared is about 30GB, and is FreeBSD on Sparc64.

Bug between JRockit and X11 forwarding via ssh

I have encountered what appears to be a bug in the interaction of JRockit with X11 ssh forwarding.
When running any Java GUI application on a remote machine using X11 forwarding via ssh, a variety of problems occur. For example:
--- cut here ---
% mitrion-ide
The program '' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
(Details: serial 189 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
--- cut here ---That's the good case. When running the rmmlite application (available at https://rmml.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=437&expandFolder=437&folderID=438 ), I experience what appears to be a near-lockup of my local workstation.
Neither of these problems occur if I set my DISPLAY to not use ssh X11 forwarding. Likewise, non-Java applications work just fine with ssh X11 forwarding. Therefore the problem seems to be limited to the Java + ssh X11 forwarding combination.
I have a suitable workaround (i.e. setting the DISPLAY variable to avoid ssh X11 forwarding), but I thought this was worth bringing to BEA's attention. I'd also be curious to know if others have run into similar difficulties.
Here are the configuration details:

Brent,
it would be nice to know if this problem is specific to the JRockit JDK or
if you also can reproduce it using the corresponding Sun JDK 1.4.2. Please
do also try with a later version such as latest JRockit JDK 5.0.
Thanks

Cannot start NodeManager Remotly (Via SSH Commands)

Hi all,
we are going to start the node manager of one of the cluster servers via SSH command.
But it is not starting. We can start it directly by log in to that server and run startNodemanager.sh script.
What is the issue?
Thanks,
Nir

Hi are you able to start Node manager using following WLST Command :
startNodeManager(verbos='true',NodeManagerHome='$WL_HOME/common/nodemanager',ListenPort='<PortNo>',ListenAddress='<HostName')
And also can check NodeManager Log files for errors .

Neighbors Mac mini (10.3.9) was exploited via SSH

My neighbor called me a couple of weeks ago to say she couldn't log in to her mini. It wouldn't accept her password. I fixed it but last weekend the same thing happened again. I fixed it but decided to look around. I found a couple of perl files in her home folder, a few tgz files, and some software for running a shoutcast server. I knew right away someone had gained access to her machine. All because when I set her mini up, I turned Remote connectivity via SSH on. I checked her bash history file and found that someone had downloaded those files using the curl command from some Romanian sites. The files were definitely cracker related, although I don't remember exactly what the names were. I think one of them was spoofer or something like that.
I'm going to send an email to Apple on this in hopes that they add a security patch to 10.3.9.
I have since reinstalled OS X and NOT turned on Remote Connectivity.

Hi Dale,
   Are you saying that you think that Apple enables the finger daemon by default? I don't believe that to be the case. On Tiger, the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/finger.plist file that ships with the system contains the following line:
<key>Disabled</key>
On Panther, the /etc/xinetd.d/finger file that ships with Panther contains the line:
disable = yes
Thus, on both systems, the fingerd daemon doesn't respond to finger requests from external systems. I tested that and the only thing that finger returns is the name of the remote system in square brackets.
   Also, the script kiddy attack to which I referred is nowhere near that sophisticated. I haven't actually read the script but the list of users it tries appears to always be the same. I agree with you that it might be possible to gain knowledge about the usernames on many systems, especially those running fingerd. However, excepting for finger and maybe LDAP, the methods for doing that would likely be different for different systems. This script goes for quantity instead of quality so it doesn't spend enough time on any one system to do any probing.
   As Michael says, Mac OS X ships with all services turned off, including fingerd. I don't think that Apple's firewall tool is of any use because it's "all-or-nothing". Opening a port to the world or blocking it is no different from turn the corresponding service on or off. However, I've never seen a GUI tool that did much better so I don't see that as a ding against Apple.
   I've read too many of your extremely knowledgeable posts to think that you rant arbitrarily. Of course people with such excellent reputations are allotted 5 random rants per calendar year here so you're allowed. If you post the details about the problems you're having, perhaps we could help. You should be able to solve almost any issues about services with a solid firewall.

Remote login via ssh and public keys

I'm not exactly a UNIX expert, but I need to be able to remote login to my PowerBook. The problem with enabling ssh is that as soon as I'm on campus, all kinds of nefarious hosts try brute force attempts to crack my password. I've heard that public/private key logins are the answer, and I've managed to get the public key in the right place on my PowerBook (the private key resides on my iPhone, from which I'll be logging in). But I have two questions:
1) How do I disable logins via user/password?
2) When I use my private key, I'm asked to enter the password for the key -- ssh isn't properly storing that password. I've checked permissions, but how can I get ssh to store that password, as it should?

1) In Sharing > Remote Login, do I still need an account listed to be able to use ssh logins with a public key? I ask because currently (i.e. password authentication enabled), when no accounts are listed, login via public key doesn't work. In other words, an account has to be listed for public key logins to work.
Yes you still need an account name to login to that computer. However you don't need to specify an account in the sharing preferences. You can lock down the security further by limiting which user accounts can login via ssh.
by default if you don't specify a username when you login it will use the username of the device your logging in from. So to use an alternative login name you would use
ssh [email protected]
whereas john can be anyname or your choosing.
Put another way: if turn off password authentication for ssh in sshd_config, how should Sharing > Remote Login be configured?
If you turn off password authentication you still need to allow your user account to login via ssh in the sharing preferences or you can allow all.
2) According to that MacOS X Hints article:
"Leopard has now a built-in support for SSH authentication with public keys.
OSX has been able to use ssh public key authentication since day 1 of the beta release of osx. It is not new to leopared it has been around for years.
Just open Terminal and ssh to your public-key-enabled server. A Keychain window appears, proposing you to enter the pass phrase, and then remembering it in your keychain. "
I have not used this functionality as I don't use any passwords for ssh logins.
They're talking about the password associated with the key. But on second thought, that password is being saved on the client, not the server, right?
I am sure this is the case.

How can a network account log on via ssh to run jobs?

We have a small setup with a tiger server and snow leopard clients. Each user has their own machine, but we have some communal mac pro machines. A lot of the software we run uses xwindows and I would like to have a method that allowed the users to ssh to these number crunching machines and run their parallel code at the same time, without having to log on using the apple log in window.
The problem: The home directory is mounted at log in and is only readable for the person who physically logs in at that computer, so if a network user logis in via ssh they cannot see their home directory, and the authentication for xwindows screws up and there is no display.
How can I make my client machines mount the home directory properly, and in a readable way, so that my network users can ssh to various client machines and have all their data available?
I look forward to being illuminated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If you want others to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account(s). In the other account(s), enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in their source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

Installing on Debian via SSH?

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if it is possible to install latest version of ColdFusion on Debian using SSH (the only ways to access my server I have are SSH and FTP)? If yes, are there any knowledge base articles or tutorials regarding this matter?

I see no reason why not, I've installed it on Redhat/CentOS countless times via SSH. Assuming there are no Deb-related issues it should be just like any other Linux install.
No real need for tutorials to be honest, if it works then it's just a case of following the on-screen prompts, the defaults are normally ample.

Not able to login to FWSM via SSH client

When i am trying to login to FWSM via SSH client and it is throwing an error that "SSH server rejected your password Try again"

Hello,
Not sure how you want me to help. The error says it all! The password is wrong.
Do you have any other username/password that you could use to connect and change yours as it looks you forgot it. Otherwise try to access it via console and change it.

Connection hange while trying to connect via ssh.

Hi all,
I have this problem and i fixed it, just wanted to understand the logic behiend it.
I tried to login to a machine via ssh.
After providing the username and password, the connection hang until you press CTRL -C.
I checked DNS configuration, and some other stuff.
The problem was a NFS entry in the vfstab that was unreachable.
When i removed it, the connection went smoothlly.
My question is, why that entry caused that problem ?
Thanks!

At login, the shell runs 'quota -v' to display any over-quota conditions that might exist.
If the NFS mount was not mounted with "noquta", then it will send an RPC request to the server. If the server is down, that request will take 60 seconds to time out. If you have multiple mounts to the server, they might run sequentially.
The login should complete after a minute or so, but most users won't wait that long.

Forms6i via ssh F-Keys

Hi folks,
a remote server-forms6-application is accessed from a local Linux via ssh/xterm.
The problem is the assignment of the function-keys. Per default ORACLE_TERM=vt220.
How can I tell ORACLE to use xterm function keycodes?
Or do I have to config xterm (e.g. with xkeycaps) to send codes like a vt220?
Thanks for reading and komments
Wolfgang

Do they work if you hold the FN key down when pressing the function keys?
If so, you need to go to System Preferences, Keyboard and un-check the box which says 'Use all F1, E2 etc. keys as standard function keys'
