FTP the ssh-1.2.27 rpms from ftp.replay.com. It's a secure telnet replacement. Install the ssh rpms on both machines. "putty" is an ssh for Win32. === Subject: Re: how can i make ssh do .rhosts type of auth?

Is there a way to do this if Im not root on any of the > involved hosts? setup a null passphrase when you run ssh-keygen, then create a .ssh/config file that looks like this: Host my_server_name RhostsAuthentication no RhostsRSAAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no FallBackToRsh no UseRsh no I'm not sure which of those you actually need, but it works for me. === Subject: Re: ssh From: "Todd A.

The only one fix since the previous release is the buffer overrun fix in RSAref (rsa.c), described in Core-SDI advisory from December 1. Thanks to Oystein Viggen for reporting this. RPMs are available in source form as well as the binaries for i386 (glibc2.1 and 2.0), alpha and sparc (32-bit). All packages are PGP-signed by my key <kas@fi.muni.cz> and are available at ftp://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/ssh/local-fi.muni.cz/linux/ and they will be available at ftp.zedz.net (used to be ftp.replay.com) soon (currently the packages are uploaded in /pub/replay/incoming). === Subject: Re: restricted shells From: Rick Moen <rick@hugin.imat.com> Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 10:58:36 -0700 Quoting Jerry Wilcox (jwilcox@slip.net): [http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/ssh-clients:] > In case you haven't already found out, this link, plus other links > you posted in this series of articles, gets a '404 Not Found'. My apologies: I moved my public ftp tree, late last night, and forgot to tell Apache about it. All the aforementioned URLs should be fixed, now. I was trying to find a more-secure ftpd than wu-ftpd-academ and ProFTPd, both of which have crufty design and a history of problems. I finally settled on TrollTech's free-software troll-ftp (after a bizarre misadventure with Dan Bernstein's anonftpd). === -- asd
