Now to introduce an even stranger problem. I have an SSL protected news server running here at work. It required certificate based authentication. Both of the boxes at work will not allow me to login to the mail server. I can connect to the server from home. And I can connect using other operating systems. The one major difference between work and home is that here at work I used Yast2 and told the install to set me up with a collection of default configurations rather than selecting the packages manually. I went through and tried to remove any package I know I am not interested in. This did not fix the problem. I looked on the news server and it is telling me it can't get the certificate from the client. I've looked at the traffic using knetdump, but that doesn't tell me a lot.
If anybody has a good idea how to untangle a mess like this, I would love to hear what you would do.
First, how do you connect from home, ie. does your desktop (X) use .xinitrc to start ssh? If so, is the same setup at work? For certificates to work, you need to use the following sequence of events to avoid having to login, or type in your password: h-agent xterm (or whatever shell you're using) ssh-add (you'll be prompted for your password) from here you can login wherever you need to. Hope this points you in a direction for progress. -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://online-isp.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
