Question on Remote login

I was on my work computer, went to "sharing" clicked on "remote login". I received the information to type in to login to that computer. I then had my husband turn on my home computer & do the same.
Question #1 - Now that I have the information to type so I can login, where do you go to actually login & enter that information provided?
Question #2 - My work computer has an IP address that I have to type in if I want to login to my work computer. But the information I'd have to type in to login to my home computer does not have an IP address in the information provided. Is that weird?

You "could" run the login gadget remotely. But why? Let me explain, you could have a complete portal installation on a gadget server (due to API calls). The gadget could run over there. I'm not sure if the overall performance of that architecture is really worth it. Am I missing something? I have done that before... I really don't know how well it scaled or performed (the customer was very small in terms of servers and users).

Remote login questions

I have an account on my parent's mac at their place which I log into occasionally via screen sharing/back to my mac. Is it possible, instead of using screen sharing, to log into my account remotely, see and use my desktop, without disrupting their session? I could be at home seeing the screen as it appears in my profile and they can be using the computer at the same time in their profile.
I vaguely remember this being done in windows (Server 2003) by some HP network engineers I used to work with.
I played with the remote login feature in the sharing prefpane and using ssh, but that just logged me into my user account via terminal, which I'm completely unfamiliar with.
Both their Mac and mine are running 10.5. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Sean

Is it possible, instead of using screen sharing, to log into my account remotely, see and use my desktop, without disrupting their session
No. Mac OS X supports only a single desktop, so all GUI users see the same thing.
There was some project that aimed to implement this through some X11 hack, but I haven't seen anything about it in a while.

What is the best way to remotely login to another Mac?

My mother & I recently decided to take the plunge from the PC world to Apple world. I have an MBP w/ OS X 10.8.2, and she has the same w/o the recent OS upgrade (10.7.?). While we're both still at the bottom of the learning curve, I'm a little further ahead and am constantly running over to her place to trouble shoot/assist her with the transition. I've been researching ways to remotely login to her computer and am now more confused than when I started. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I basically want to be able to login to her system and takeover as if I were on site. And, while I don't know if my research, thus far, has brought me any closer to a solution, it has raised a few questions:
1) Do I simply want to go with 3rd party sofware like Logmein and will the free versions be sufficient or are they just trial offers?
2) Or is ARD my best option and am I right in assuming we'd each have to pony up the $80 for installs on both MBPs?
3) Some of the discussions talk about much more expensive ARD fees with multiple licenses. Am I correct in assuming these are meant for network administrators and wouldn't be necessary for my purposes?
4) I noticed a free VCN version available from the App Store but came accross posts which seem to indicate possible security issues. Are these valid concerns and does ARD address them?
5) Will I run into problems because we're using different OSs?
6) I attempted to follow instructions for an "ssh" remote login that I found by doing a search of 'remote login' under the Apple Support. But when a password was requested, I didn't seem to be able to enter one into the command line. Again, I'm new to Macs, but the cursor didn't move when I entered characters, so I was left wondering whether characters were being entered or whether this is Appple's '*****' feature used to guard passwords. Either way, after 3 attempts, my efforts were repeatedly terminated. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure I was entering a valid password as the article I'm referring to didn't specify how to set a password. I used a VCN password I had set up under the Remote Management option in the Sharing utility under System Preferences. I'm assuming this was the password they were looking for but couldn't be 100% sure as the instructions I followed were not related to "ssh" logins nor were they from Apple Suppot. Anyway, is this "ssh" login worth pursuing and does it function independently or does it only work in conjuction with ARD? If it is a stand alone solution, where can I go for better guidance? The Apple Support link I used was: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1112.
7) Being recovering Windows users, we both have MS Office for Mac 2011 which has MS's Remote Desktop Connection app. But from reviewing a few posts, it looks like that comes with it's own set of issues. It also kind of defeats the purpose as I'm trying to wien myself off of MS. But if someone out there has experience and suggests this as the "ultimate" solution, I'm willing to listen.
I know I've babbled on quite a bit and I don't actually expect anyone to take the time to answer all of my questions. But I'm hoping I might get a collective answer, and more importatnly, I'm really hoping to narrow the field and get generally guidance on the best Mac-to-Mac remote login solution. Thanks in advance for any advice.

System preferences remote login address naming HELP PLEASE

Hello,
This problem is driving me crazy... Enabling Remote Login (under Sharing Preferences) gives me a note that "To log in to this computer remotely, type ssh [email protected]". The problem is the part of the address named "wrongname". I have no idea where it is picking this up. I've gone back under the networking preferences and confirmed it's not coming from there. The netbios name by the way is "CARLS-MACBKPRO1". Enabling file sharing gives me the same "wrongname". Any idea where this is coming from and how do I fix it?
Running 10.7.3 on a Macbook Pro.
Thanks in advance.
Carl

The question is how are you trying to connect to the server? and where are you testing from?
You say you can 'log-in to the Mac-Mini from the internal network', but what protocol are you using?
The ports you've opened are for web (80), FTP (21) and SSH (22), so if you're using any other protocol (e.g. AFP for file sharing), it won't work.
So, you need to decide what protocol you want to use and forward the appropriate ports. For example, if you do want to use AFP to transfer files, you'll need to open port 548.
An alternative is to just use port 22 and use SSH tunneling to tunnel other protocols over a secure connection (normal AFP, web, etc. traffic is not secure and tunneling these protocols over an SSH connection provides an enhanced level of security.

Starting a remote login through ABAP

Hello!
First of all, I am a beginner in ABAP :).
Now the question - I have registered a remote R/3 system in SM59 and the remote login works. Is it now possible to start the remote login for that particular system through an ABAP program? If so how do I do it?
Any links to tutorials, articles or code examples will also of course be helpful..
Bye!

Open a UNIX terminal (with a remote login session) on JButton click

All,
-- The domain of this problem blurs the line which decides if this question has to be posed on a Java swing audience or a UNIX forum. To understand this problem apart from being a Java swing person, you would also need to have a basic understanding of UNIX concepts such as gnome-terminal, xterm and rsh --
I am creating a network monitoring GUI which has a JTable having many entries that pertains to various system information about nodes in a network. I have overridden the default cellEditor in the table with a custom TableCellEditor (camickr's archive) and have a column containing JButtons labelled with hostnames.
Now, when a user clicks on any of these buttons, I would like to open up a terminal (xterm or /usr/bin/gnome-terminal) followed by executing some commands on this NEW terminal shell. In other words, I would like to automate this process as if the user opens a terminal and then keys in commands to rsh into the remote host by specifying the hostname (which is the label on the JButton) and finally provide the user with this state, from where on she takes control on that remote login session.
I tried searching through various previous posts. I did find a related one:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5180094&messageID=9699614#9699614
But I still have difficulty in getting my problem solved.
The following statements are executed when one such button (labelled by a hostname) is clicked:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
         String hostname = e.getActionCommand();
            fireEditingStopped();
            System.out.println( "probing: " + hostname); //This appears correctly on the console
            Process p;
               try {
                    p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/gnome-terminal");
                    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream()));
                                out.write("rsh -l root "+hostname); //attempting to remote login in the NEW shell (terminal)..... I guess :|
               } catch (IOException e1) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e1.printStackTrace();
.I guess I am not having control on the new terminal. Is there any way I could control the newly spawned shell?
Appreciate,
Rajiv

Alright...
assuming gnome-terminal is in /usr/bin path,
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e "<command>"
would solve this problem

Hi SAP Remote Login

Hi all,
I am getting training in SAP ABAP and in the training institute there is SAP software, is it possible for me to login to the SAP software by Remote Login.. What are the steps I need to follow?. I asked my instructor about the Remote Login facility and he said he dont know how to connect to the SAP software. Let me know how I can connect the SAP software which is in my institute to have a Remote Login and study from home. Also, the training institute is not very big organisation, its a small place giving training to about 10 students at any given time..So how can I achieve Remote Login in this case??
What are the steps that I need to follow in order to access the software.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
Regards,
-Ashok Patel

Hi Ashok,
<b>Please reward and close your previous post with the title 'Hi SAP Installation ??????'.</b>
I am assuming this is the same question as that one. you need to install SAPGUI on your laptop/computer-at-home. You then need the 'saplogon.ini' file from your company's windows directory and put that in your windows directory.
Above all, you need network access to your company from your home. Ask your network administrator about how you can achieve that.

Worried about my remote login being hacked

I use a wifi router here in my apartment and I have the network encrpyted. The thing is that my computers are connected together using ethernet and one of them recieves the wifi and allows internet sharing on the other. I have personal file sharing on and remote login enabled because i am often going back and forth between both computers. I know this allows for some security vulnerabilities so i have some questions about whether it is actually possible for some neighbor to somehow get my user/password. I am very sure that the best advice will be to only turn on these sharing/login services when i have to but id really like to keep everything fluid. I mean, is it really that easy to get my admin user/password through my wifi network? I know it would be safer to cancel these services but i dont want to be gripped by fear...

Yes, once they crack the WEP, then they have your Login Name & Password(s).
"Now it takes just 3 seconds to extract a 104-bit WEP key from intercepted data using a 1.7GHz Pentium M processor. The necessary data can be captured in less than a minute, and the attack requires so much less computing power than previous attacks that it could even be performed in real time by someone walking through an office."
http://www.techworld.com/security/news/index.cfm?newsid=8456
I've often mused that WEP may be worse than a completely open Network! After all, these Hackers are generally looking for a little challenge for some thrill/boasting rights, and saying hay, I just broke into an open network, isn't going to make your hat any blacker!

Remote login to certain ID help ?

Anyone know how to setup on Sun Solaris 8 boxes to have remote logins to certain IDs locked out ? On the AIX boxes, this is done with a command like login -f....but I don't know if it can be set up on the Suns. Any ideas or workarounds on this would be great.

The question is how are you trying to connect to the server? and where are you testing from?
You say you can 'log-in to the Mac-Mini from the internal network', but what protocol are you using?
The ports you've opened are for web (80), FTP (21) and SSH (22), so if you're using any other protocol (e.g. AFP for file sharing), it won't work.
So, you need to decide what protocol you want to use and forward the appropriate ports. For example, if you do want to use AFP to transfer files, you'll need to open port 548.
An alternative is to just use port 22 and use SSH tunneling to tunnel other protocols over a secure connection (normal AFP, web, etc. traffic is not secure and tunneling these protocols over an SSH connection provides an enhanced level of security.

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.

Remote login via terminal

can someone tell me how i use Terminal to login into my Server (Running OS X Server 10.4.3) at home? i need to know what command to use and also, once logged in via terminal whatever commands i enter will be controlling the server and not the local machine, right? sorry for the basic question but whatcha gonna do? please help....
john.

I've never user /accessed OS X server, but Mac to Mac access (I believe) should be the same.
Ensure that 'Remote Login - SSH' is enables on your Mac's firewall..... then in Terminal type;
ssh username@servername (or IP address). this will prompt for a passord... which will be the remote username's password on the OS X server machine.
Once you are on the remote server any commands you enter in that shell (the command prompt in Terminal) will be run on that server. Toexit from the remote machine just type 'exit'
What are you trying to run on the remote machine... I may be able to assist

Multiple Desktops when remote login?

Hi, is there a way that I can remotly login with two different users and have each one an own GUI desktop?

Sounds like you want Terminal Services.

I think that it is still early days for Terminal Services on Mac but take a look it might be able to do what you need.

Screen Sharing and Remote Login suddenly stopped working

I have had Screen Sharing and Remote Login turned on on my iMac for several weeks and they have been working fine up until now. I have been accessing the computer via VNC programs and command-line ssh logins from other computers on the same local network. When I tried to connect today, i was given the following error message.
ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: No route to host
I have all of the required settings turned on in System preferences and there are no firewalls or router settings blocking it. I connected the two computers together via ethernet cable and the error message still occurred.
I can ssh from the machine to 127.0.0.1, so the ssh server is running. I can ssh to other locations from the laptop i am attempting to connect with, so that's not the problem either. I just spent an hour on the phone with the apple tech support line and they couldn't figure anything out either. Can anybody figure something out?

have you tried the obvious - restarting the computers involved and the router?

Remote login in SM51 Fails / ECC 6.0 / HP-UX / Oracle 10

Hi All,
We had a cluster, 4 physical servers / 14 SAP Instances / HP-UX - Oracle 10G / ECC 6 EHP 3.
Basically we have a general RFC problem in the system. You can reproduce it simply in transaction sm51: In most of the instances whenever you try to change to an instance that has the same instance number than the one you are logged on at this moment, you will come back to this instance, e.g.:
you are logged on at host1_SID_01, start sm51 and try to change to the instances:
host2_SID_01,
host3_SID_01 or
host4_SID_01
(or you try to display the system log or other). You will see (System - Status) that you don't change to these instances but will stay on host1_SID_01.
We found the SAP Note 662895 - Remote login using SM51 Fails. In this note they refer to the error: "Transaction termination 14 025".
Now we have this error (we upgraded from SAP 46C with another error in sm21).
The problem is that we really donu2019t understand exactly what they want to do in the SAP Note 662895:
Summary
Symptom
Remote login in SM51 by double-clicking R/3 instances fails
Solution
You can use transaction SM51 to log in to another application server using RFC, without entering a password. Server "A"
Server "A"                                          Server "B"
        <--Remote logon via RFC   <--
GUI
      sm51
Double-click on the server B entry --->
If host name "B" was entered on server "A" as the gw/alternative_hostnames profile parameter, the local SAP gateway from server "A" is used when you log on to server "B". This results in the syslog message "Transaction termination 14 025".
The same error occurs if you try to open a new external mode on server "A".
Who is the origin server? Host A? Host B? In fact sometimes you can go from A to B and vice versa. So changing the gw/alternative_hostnames parameter doesn't appear to be a solution.
I would appreciate some tips about this Note / Problem.
Best Regards,
Erick Ilarraza

Hello, thanks a lot for your replyes.
Abhijeet Siras, the command /etc/ping <host> works prefectly.
Sergo,
Exactly we have 3 host each one with 4 dialog instances. 1 host with 2 dialog instances and one host with the central instance.
Not all instances have this problem, only the following combination:
     Origin                     Destination
host4_SID_01    - >     host1_SID_01
host2_SID_03    - >      host3_SID_03
host1_SID_01    --> host3_SID_01
host1_SID_02   -->     host3_SID_02
host1_SID_03   -->     host3_SID_03
host1_SID_04   -->     host3_SID_04
host2_SID_01   -->     host3_SID_01
host2_SID_02 -->     host3_SID_02
host2_SID_03 -->     host3_SID_03
host2_SID_04 -->     host1_SID_04
host2_SID_04 -->     host3_SID_04
host3_SID_04 -->     host1_SID_04
host4_SID_01 -->     host1_SID_01
host4_SID_02 -->     host1_SID_02
host4_SID_02 -->     host2_SID_02
host4_SID_02 -->     host3_SID_02
The problem is between *_NUMBER to *_NUMBER!
For example from Dialog Instance 3 running on host 2 to Dialog Instance 3 running on host 3
For example host4_SID_01 means the Dialog Instance 1 running on host 4.
Best Regards,
Erick Ilarraza

Is there a way to access remote login and screen sharing logs?

I have a very high suspicion that my macbook air has been accessed through remote login. Here's what happened. I closed my macbook air, letting it sleep, and left my house. After coming back I found it logged into the Guest account (which I didn't know was enabled). Remote login, Remote sharing and file sharing were enabled but I disabled them. I can't remember enabling them but maybe I did.
I am also on a local network with about 8 other devices connected. I looked through /private/var/log/system.log but couldn't find anything concrete. I have yet to log out of the guest account and have connected to another internet connection just to be on the safe side.
My other user account is passworded and I could switch back to it from guest.
So if my macbook was accessed through remote login, is there a way to tell from what IP address it came from?
Please help me get to the bottom of this.

May 20 13:03:44 XXXXXXXX-MacBook-Air.local loginwindow[51]: ERROR | ScreensharingLoginNotification | Failed sending message to screen sharing GetScreensharingPort, err: 1102
May 20 13:03:44 XXXXXXXXMacBook-Air.local loginwindow[51]: USER_PROCESS: 51 console
May 20 19:11:14 XXXXXXXXXXX-MacBook-Air.local loginwindow[51]: ERROR | ScreensharingLoginNotification | Failed sending message to screen sharing GetScreensharingPort, err: 1102
I guess if it did happen it would have said so. Thanks anyway.
