Ssh and solaris 10

Hi,
since we upgraded to solaris 10, ssh behavior changed. After validating the login, it takes something like 10 seconds for ssh to ask for the password. Has anyone observe such behavior ?

Hi,
yep nslookup failed with my IP adress, it returns "no server could be reached". my /etc/nsswitch.conf only list files (no dns), and /etc/resolv.conf is :
nameserver 127.0.0.1
I've stoped and restarted /etc/init.d/nscd after modification.
Finger find the correct name of the remote computer though.

SSH Differences between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10

I use public key authentication when connecting via SSH but have noticed a difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 and wondered if it's an environment setup issue. I keep my keys in $HOME/.ssh
When connecting from Solaris 9 I can provide an identity file without a path regardless of the directory that I'm in e.g.
ssh -i my_identity_file user@hostnameThe above works even if I'm not in the $HOME/.ssh directory. But when using the same from Solaris 10 I get the following error:
Warning: Identity file my_identity_file does not exist.If I run the command from $HOME/.ssh on Solaris 10 it connects fine, and if I pass in the path like so it works fine:
ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/my_identity_file user@hostnameIs there a setting specific to SSH somewhere as I can't see anything in my environment that's different between the two systems. There's certainly no entry in $PATH that points to $HOME/.ssh. How could I get SSH to work on Solaris 10 by just providing the identity file name and not the full path
Regards
Rich

It's not explicitly defined in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, so I'm assuming it would be using the default which is ~/.ssh/id_dsa.
But surely that's irrelevant if I'm using the -i switch to provide the identity file?
Remember the problem here is that I have to provide a full path to the identity file, whereas before just the filename would do.

Sgd + ldap auth + ssh and numeric usernames

Hi there, sorry if there is a well known answer to my problem, bu tI have not found it.
anyway, We have a problem where our customer wants to use purelly numeric usernames to logg in to secure global desktop
From the point of secure global desktop we don't have any problems with this, the problem happens later on with the ssh to solaris (which is set up with ldap authentication) in that I have not been able to get purely numerical logins to work with solaris pam_ldap. Now some of you think that this is not an SGD problem, and that is true, but I was wondering if SGD could help me solve this.
My question is simple, can SGD use a "different" username taken from ldap after it has logged in the user instead of the username tha tthe user provided.
ex.
the user loggs in to SGD with the username 173651
when starting the application , instead of logging in to the application server (via ssh) with username 173651 it should take an other field from ldap that holds the solaris username.
thanks for any answers and hints.

Sorry, but you missunderstood my question a bit :-)
What you suggest is a way for the users to type in an other username after logged in to Secure Global desktop, tha tis now what we want
We want this to be done automaticly for us.
First we have changed a bit how the login procedure works, when the user surfs to the SGD server they will not be presented with any choices, they wil be presented with a single login screen, when they have logged in SGD will automaticly start our application.
the problem we have is that we want to use only digits as the login name in SGD, but unforutunally Solaris have some problems with using digits alone in usernames (and especially usernames longer then 8 characters)
so I was hoping that SGD could read from LDAP (we are using LDAP user store, not UNIX) another value that it would use to login to the app server thorugh SSH
for example, when logging in to SGD it loggs in towards the LDAP uid field, but when it starts the application SGD reads some other property from LDAP and sends that to ssh. Solaris is then also authenticating towards SSH and uses the second property to authenticate.
If this cannot be done in Secure global Desktop, I think we will look at using a third party authenticator that can do what we want (hopefully OpenSSO can do this)

OpenSSH between Windows and Solaris

Hi all,
I have been given a task to set up SSH connection between Solaris 10 and Windows XP sp2. I'm quite new with the Solaris 10 and don't have any ideas to set up the SSH. Is it that i need to install some software in windows XP in order to set up the SSH and I'm quite confused with which side should be the SSH server and which one will be the SSH client. Can anyone give me some tips/guidance on how to do it or some documentation? Your help are really appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Francis

Hi~
Thanks for the response abrante. I have found out my problem. It seems that my port 22 in Solaris 10 machine is not open. When i tries to telnet the port 22, it says could not open the connection to the host, on port 22: connect failed. Is this because the SSH deamon in Solaris does not running? I have already type *#svcadm enable SSH* in the Solaris 10, but after i use the *#scvs -a | grep ssh*, it shows maintenance 8:45:06 svc :/network/ssh:default. What does this means? Does it means ssh is not running? After i tries with svcs -xv ssh, it shows:
State: maintenance since Thu Nov 17 09:07:44 2011
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 1.
Impact: This service is not running.
I also tries to clear the state of ssh using svcadm clear ssh and disable and enable the service again but it doesn't work and still come out with the maintenance status. What should i do in order to solve this problem? Look forward for your response.
Thanks & Regards,
Francis

Log ssh and telnet connections

Hi guys,
if you want to log all ssh and telnet connections to your system, what entry do you put in /etc/syslog.conf file?
Thank you

ASA 5505 + ASA 5540 static VPN, ssh and rdp problems

Greetings!
I've recentely set up a VPN between Cisco ASA 5540(8.4) ana 5505(8.3).
Everything works fine, but there is a small problem that is really annoying me.
From the inside network behind ASA 5505 I connect via rdp or ssh to a host inside ASA 5540.
Then I minimize ssh and rdp windows and don't use it for ten minutes. But I still use VPN for downloading some files.
Then I open ssh window - the session is inactive, open rdp window - I see a black screen (for 10-15 seconds, and then it shows RDP)
There are no timeouts on ssh or rdp hosts configured, via GRE tunnel it works perfectly without any hangs.
What can I do to get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Fedor,
You could try adding the following commands to your configuration (on both ASAs) in order to increase the timeout values of the specific TCP sessions:
access-l rdp_ssh permit tcp 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.0 255.255.255.0 eq 22
access-l rdp_ssh permit tcp 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.0 255.255.255.0 eq 3389
class-map TCP_TIMEOUT
      match access-list rdp_ssh
policy-map global_policy
     class TCP_TIMEOUT
          set connection timeout idle 0:30:00
          set connection timeout half 0:30:00
* Please make sure you define the specific RDP and SSH ports in the ACL and avoid the use of "permit ip any any".
Let me know.
Portu.
Please rate any post you find useful.

Problem with ssh and bash-completion

I and a co-worker are having a weird problem with ssh and bash-completion. We have a local config in .ssh/config with hosts we connect everyday. An example:
host foo
hostname foo.org
user foobar
host foobar
hostname foobar.org
user foobar
When we try to type
ssh foo<tab><tab>b<tab>
the console just freeze and we can't type anything, everything we type is ignored, but after about 30 seconds the host is completed.
This works a some time ago, so some upgrade make this happen. Anyone can reproduce this?

Vista and Solaris 10, are they compatible?

I have attempted to follow dual boot guides found everywhere, but none tailor specifically to (or eve mention) Vista. This is a problem, because Vista does not use the same method of boot as previous versions of NT.
So far, in my many failed attempts at creating a Vista dual boot, I have experienced this:
When I install Solaris 10 on any partition (Solaris installs correctly and works great), and then attempt to install Windows Vista, Vista says all of my partitions do not meet its requirements for installation (that the drive is NTFS and at least 12 GB is all it tells me). Even after formatting, deleting, recreating, and reformatting a drive, the drive is still unusable. Only after deleting ALL drives, including Solaris 10, and recreating and brand new first partition does Vista allow me to install. If I create a partition that Vista allows me to use, and also a partition to use with Solaris, and THEN install Solaris, the partition that Vista liked can no longer be used!
When I install Windows Vista first (and it works fine) (which is what I tried first and reasoned is what I should be doing), and then install Solaris 10 on a partition (it installs correctlt and works great), I load up my computer and go into the GRUB bootloader. I can select Windows. However, when attempting to load windows, I get an error (in the Vista font by the way) that says my operating system cannot be loaded. When I load my Vista install disc, it cannot find any installations of windows, and it cannot repair the master boot record, saying something like the filesystem is corrupt. However, just as an experiment, I loaded Vista onto the former Solaris drive, and looked at my first partition. Every file was there, intact.
I have attempted this with Windows Home Premium 32 bit, Windows Business 32 bit, and Vista Ultimate x64. I don't want to believe that it's impossible to load Vista and Solaris simultaneously, I've seen as much stating its impossibility as I've seen documents telling me how to do it (<- cold irony).
As long as I can get AN INSTALLATION of Solaris 10 on my machine at the same time I have Vista able to boot, I'm fine, but I seem to have lost on all fronts.

In Solaris Express, this is not an issue, according to this weblog:
http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/solaris_vista_dual_boot_conclusion
For versions of Solaris Express prior to buid 70, this method was described for creating a dual-boot with the oh-too-picky Windows Vista:
http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/vista-and-solaris-express-dual-boot/
I am going to assume that setting up a dual-boot with Solaris 10 is similar to, if not the same as, Solaris Express, since the only steps specific to Solaris are the files I copy from Solaris.
I hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine.

Install Windows first, then Solaris {not the other way round}. When Solaris installer detects Windows installation and prompts you whether to preserve Windows partition, make sure to select 'preserve' option. I believe Solaris installer creates appropriate GRUB entries for Windows and Solaris. Even if it doesn't, you can always edit the GRUB menu after the installation is complete.
Check the following web site if you need detailed instructions:

Lion server on Mac mini server stop responding to ssh and VNC (other services like mail, ical works well)

Lion server on Mac mini server stop responding to ssh and VNC (other services like mail, ical works well)
Version is Lion server 10.7.4
When I attach a monitor to it, I saw all the buttons and menus stopped responding too. I can only push and hold the power button on the box to shutdown.
It only started happening recently.
Anyone has any clue?
Thanks for the help in advance!!!

Found that the second hard drive is broken. I have to go to the apple store to have it replaced.
I had to press the power button to turn the server off for several times, then the broken hard drive went disappeared. After that, I had to disable the Spotlight. Then the server went back to work normally.
Now I made a CCC copy of the primary hard drive, and would like to have the server run on the external raid disk (connected through thunderbolt). Does anyone have previous experience with it? Any expectable drawback or issue with this setup?

How do I install dual-boot Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on one hard disk ?

I tried to install Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on same disk using CDs, but
the second installation overwrote the first Solaris which was installed
previoudly on the half-disk size partition of same disk.
How do I install two Solarises on one hard disk ?
Thanks
Yakov

There are no tricks to get Solaris to dual boot on the same drive. Just allocate and pick the free slices not used by the first Solaris install when you put in the second install. Technically speaking there is nothing preventing you from running seven separately bootable Solaris instances on the same drive (one of 8 available slices is overlap -- slice 2) provided you use a swap file on a root partition instead of reserving a whole slice for swap.

Dual boot windows 7 and solaris 11

Hi Friends,
Could some one please explain the steps to install dual boot windows 7 and solaris 11?
Thanks

Install Windows leaving a partition for Solaris. Install Solaris into the empty partition. Reboot. Use a partition manager if you need to shrink your current Windows Partition. GParted works great and is free.

Dual Boot Windows 7 and solaris 10

Can some body guide me how to dual boot windows 7 and solaris 10?
Thanks

First partition your harddisk with at least 2 primary partitions, one for windows and the other for solaris if you only have one harddisk. It would be a good idea to create an additional small boot partition as the first partition as well if you intend on using an independent boot loader but it really depends on what your machine is capable of. For example, if you have multiple harddisk and your BIOS supports it, then you could just install each OS onto its own harddisk and use the BIOS function to disable/boot off specific harddisk. Otherwise, if you only have one harddisk and created multiple partitions, install windows7 first followed by solaris10, obviously installing into different partitions. If you have created a boot partition, then you can install the boot loader into that dedicated partition.

Dual Booting Windows and Solaris

Hi
how do i dual boot windows and solaris
Do i install windows first and then solaris or do it the other way around..?
how do i make sure that Windows and Solaris appear in my boot options..?
Is their a guide on doing this...?
Thanks
Liam

Hey I did a quick google search for you. So I havent tried this method myself but it sounds reasonable.
The text below is from the following link:
http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/DualBoot.htm
"Solaris boot loader
Partition the drive to leave at least 2GB of space available for Solaris;
more drive space is desirable.
As with Linux, install Windows first then Solaris.
Do not use the Installation CD but boot and install
from Software CD 1.
If you accept the default partitioning scheme which
the installer provides you will soon run out of space in
your / and /usr partitions since only enough space is
allocated to install the system.
All extra space is allocated to /export/home.
A typical installation on a 4.5GB partition might look
something like this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0 900M 536M 310M 64% /
/dev/dsk/c0d0s1 334M 109M 192M 36% /var
swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /var/run
swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /tmp
/dev/dsk/c0d0s5 845M 222M 565M 29% /opt
# (FAT32 partition):
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:1 5.0G 3.3G 1.6G 66% /c
/dev/dsk/c0d0s7 1.1G 92M 954M 9% /export/home
/dev/dsk/c0d0s4 752M 225M 474M 33% /usr/local
The Solaris boot selector enables you to choose either
Solaris or Windows with Solaris as the default.
(I prefer grub or lilo!)
To mount FAT under Solaris:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c /dos (or �:1�?)
And the vfstab file:
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c - /dos pcfs - yes -
To create a GRUB boot floppy, follow these steps:
$ mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
$ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
$ mkdir /mnt/fd0/boot /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
$ cp /boot/grub/stage[12] /boot/grub/grub.conf \
> /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
$ /sbin/grub --batch <
Hope this helps!
