Basically, allows a user on serverA to be trusted to authenticate as a certain user on serverB. The steps, briefly: 1) serverA: `ssh-keygen -t dsa` and hit enter a couple of times to save the key, with the default file names and etc, to ~/.ssh/ 2) serverA: `scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub destinationuser@serverB` 3) serverB: `cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys2` 4) serverA: `ssh destinationuser@serverB` and watch the connection happen without requesting a password. Key Exchange is good, wonderful, and secure _assuming_ that you have good physical security on your machines. That's a very, very key point. Don't share a key from your laptop, say, to a server that's accessible to the outside world on port 22.

HP JetDirect Printerserver
by Erik Jakobsen 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi. I have a problem with my HP Printerserver HP JetDirect 500X. Or maybe better to say, ther is a printer, that I cannot get inay printing from, if I want to print something out from my SuSE 10.0 Eval. The ports are setup to use 9100 and 9101 for TCP printing. My HL5040 Laserprinter on port 9100 is printing ok. But not my HP DJ895Cxi. When I set it up, I printed out an ok test to it, but it will not print from a document. I tried with nmap: nmap -v 192.168.1.3 Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-11-07 13:23 CET Initiating SYN Stealth Scan against 192.168.1.3 [1663 ports] at 13:23 Increasing send delay for 192.168.1.3 from 0 to 5 due to 27 out of 89 dropped probes since last increase. Discovered open port 9100/tcp on 192.168.1.3 The SYN Stealth Scan took 14.82s to scan 1663 total ports. Host 192.168.1.3 appears to be up ... good.

I think I had the same thing when trying to overwrite a local file. Just use gFTP. It is ugly, but it works. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Loop mounting iso doesn't seem to work...
by M.Blackmore 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hokay. I've downloaded the iso's of the cd and also the EVAL dvd. Loop mounted them per hoaghi's instructions. Is there any reason why mounting the DVD iso (and not makeDVD from the CD's) should fail as an nfs source for booting another 'pooter off the boot cd (as burned from boot.iso)? The error message is something along the lines of (shutdown the other pooter before noting it down, alas) error in nfs unknown error -1 Huh?

One-way transmission problem (with wireless card)
by Paul W. Abrahams 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

After some angst I've managed to get my wireless card working, sort of, with my laptop. (The key to the kingdom is ndiswrapper.) However, it seems to have only one-way transmission to the Net. If I ping my router, I get the normal echo response. But if I ping anything in the outside world (like yahoo.com) the message goes out (the nameservers even find the right IP address) but nothing -- nothing -- ever comes back. Similarly, I can't look at any web pages on the Net. (This is with SuSE 10.0.) I've looked at the Yast settings for the card but can't find anything relevant, and my firewall is as far as I know disabled. And other computers connected to the router work fine. Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks == Paul

Microsoft Core Fonts.

Hi. On my SuSE 10.0 Eval, I want to install the Microsoft true type fonts. On the open source I can see, that they are installed from YOU: "We will use the Microsoft Core Fonts. You should get them from YOU, the SuSE update manager." How do I set up YOU for that ?. Erik Jakobsen

K-Bear crashes -- don't know where to begin resolving the problem
by Gil Weber 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi, everyone. K-Bear crashes immediately when I try to transfer a file from my home directory to my ftp site. I have no idea why. K-Bear had been working the last time I tried to transfer a file (several months ago). Note that I **am** able to delete files from the ftp site, but the program crashes if I try to send a file to the ftp site. I have no idea what to make of the "backtrace" file that is available when the KDE Crash Handler displays following a crash. Any ideas? I reinstalled KBear but that did not help. Thanks. Gil
