Default OpenSSH login is insanely slow - can that be fixed?

On my SuSE 7 server I've got openssh installed. It's almost a minute from the time you type in your password till it gives you a shell prompt. That's fairly unacceptable. What can be done to speed that up? ---------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com

Re: [SLE] dual boot with NT - SOLVED
by Daniel Casey 09 Jan '01

09 Jan '01

I ended up booting back off of the SuSE CD-ROM, after Yast2 installation came up, I quit out and it took me to the text-based install. I selected Update and then boot installed system. After I booted, I was able to run the dd command and copy the necessary file to disk and then booted back to NT, changed boot.ini and all is well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Casey" <dwcasey(a)mysun.com> Date: Monday, January 8, 2001 2:17 pm Subject: [SLE] dual boot with NT > I've tried to use the doc at: > > http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/nt.html > > I've already got NT on my laptop (Dell Latitude CPx) with a C: and D:. > > During the SuSE 6.4 installation, I setup: > > /dev/hda3 Extended 2.5gb > /dev/hda5 /boot 5mb > /dev/hda6 /swap 300mb > /dev/hda7 / 2.2gb > > And when asked about LILO during installation, the help doc says > to > install LILO in the Linux root partition, which should be > /dev/hda7 for > me, right? > > I did this, went with the default installation and when it was > finished > it said it had to reboot.

RE: [SLE] HTML editors

My experience has been that there is nothing yet available for Linux which can match the ease of use of Front Page or Dreamweaver. I am stuck using windows my my web development. My advice would be to stay away from Front Page and buy Macromedia's Dreamweaver. There are some HTML editors for Linux like Coffee Cup HTML etc... but like I said above, they do not offer the wysiwig environment that Dreamweaver does. -----Original Message----- From: Damon Register [mailto:damon.w.register@lmco.com] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 10:06 AM Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] HTML editors My boss just said that he wants to order M$ Front Page so someone in our department can create web pages for our group. I would like very much to get away from M$ and since Front Page is just one more way to get locked into M$, I want to suggest something in the Linux world. Can anyone suggest Linux software for creating/editing web pages? I remember a similar thread last year but don't remember much about it since at that time I wasn't interested in web pages. Please help me convince my boss to use SuSE linux instead of M$ Windoze.

libqt....
by James Hatridge 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

Hi all... Once again I'm trying to get Koffice to work. It's asking for "libqt.so.2", but I don't have it on my system. Could anyone tell me where to find it? BTW I'm running SuSE 6.3 with KDE1 and 2 on it. Also someone the other day said that they are running Koffice under KDE1. Would that kind soul please tell me how they got it to run with KDE1?

SuSE 7.0
by Richard 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

Dear All I'm having a few problems with SuSE 7 i386 machines that I can't sort out. Perhaps someone can help ? Sent this one in before but no one answered. I've built and installed a PC but not installed X-windows. When I try to do 'links' or 'lynx' or even 'mc' I get the following error message.... "error in loading shared libraries: libgpm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" anyone know what that's about ?? Also, I upgraded an SuSE 6.4 i386 machine to 7.0. It was fine until I installed the Braille Linux RPM and some of the Beowulf stuff. This machine is used as a workstation for all kinds of network administration and for writing letters and sending faxes. After rebooting the next day I found that the Blinux RPM disabled the X-server. I removed the RPM and now the X-server works fine. However, The Beo stuff has disabled the network card that allows me to use the computer with the rest of my domestic network. I've removed the Beo RPMs and re-installed the Realtek network card. Still won't work. When I boot the machine I get the following error message...... "Starting console for cluster failed Master Resource Control:runlevel 2 has been reached Failed services in runlevel 2: console Welcome to SuSE Linux 7.0 (i386) - kernel 2.2 16 (tty1)" Anyone know how to remove the above problem and get the network card to work once more ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I ended up replacing the four kdebase*.rpm packages with the identically name packages from: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/2.0.1/distribution/rpm/SuSE/ and the problems disappeared (saves work again). I eventually upgraded to KDE 2.1beta1 from: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/distribution/2.1beta1/rpm/SuSE/ and found it more solid than the 2.0.1 "stable" release. Even though the packages on the ftp site are for SuSE 7.0, they work on 6.4 as well. -- John Ross Hunt bigboote(a)mediaone.net <mailto:bigboote@mediaone.net>

VPN

Does anyone have experience with Virtual Private Network under Linux? If I remember correct, there is at least one project delivering on this. But does any standard exist int this area, and does Linux apply? I have to connect to a proprietary Firewall, most propably a SonicWall.

Serial Console and root login
by Damon Register 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

I wanted to have a console connected to a serial port so I could login with a serial terminal. The SuSE book didn't mention this but I found what I wanted in the mailing list archive in a message dated Sun May 14 2000. I recompiled the kernel with serial support and now I can login on the serial port but there is one problem. The serial port doesn't let me login as root. The only thing I could find on this is a setting in /etc/rc.config but I don't want to allow root for net logins, I only want to allow root login on the serial port. How can I do this?
