I have read all the suggestions. I am unclear how the configuration at either end (on each openSUSE machine) can effect this. Unless something told ssh/sshd to connect on other than port 22. This is not the case. I see that sshd on the destination is listening on port 22. Both systems are in the default setup. When I connect (the firewall lets all ports thru) I do not see an additional port open (netstat -lp). But maybe there is one used just when the password is read? The firewall is in Barcelona and I am in Stockholm. As I need to get some work done, I am unable to tell them to restrict access to port 22. I will be able to do that next week. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ssh through a firewall

by Roger Oberholtzer

Hi all, The subject sounds innocent enough. I am trying to ssh from an openSUSE 10.0 system in to an openSUSE 11.2 system. There is a firewall at the 11.2 end. It is not the firewall on the 11.2 itself. That is fully disabled. It is some other device. I told them to open port 22 (tcp and udp). But I still cannot log in. I get the initial ssh questions about the host, and then the password prompt. However, my password is not accepted. If I ask them to open all ports at their end, I can log in just fine. I am, once again, confused. Any ideas? They do not want to keep the firewall for this machine open too long. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Recommended - small lightweight DMS - to be able to catalog/search files by tags, type, etc.

by David C. Rankin

All, I'm looking for a small light document management system that will allow me to catalog 1000s of miscellaneous files into a searchable list. This is primarily for all the code and script snippets I've collected over the past 15 years but I would also like to include the myriad of little tricks/tips files I've saved and squirreled away. A smart directory layout and grep have always fit the bill, but I've got to the point where I know I have a snippet of X I've saved, but *where is it, and what was that function called?* (sound familiar?) NO - I don't want beagle (or anything like it). I don't want some full-text scan and index of all files. Those are miserable for code and I don't want some 200 Meg index laying around somewhere. I'm looking for something that will just hold the filename, a description, and then possibly a list of user-defined tags I could assign and filter by. For code doxygen is nice, but worthless for small tips/tricks, howto, or general readme type files. For general tips/tricks/readme/config type info, basket has been great. I've looked into many of the so-called DMS packages, e.g. opendocman, kimios, LetoDMS, logicaldoc, owndms, SeedDMS, xinco, etc., but most are like sledgehammers for swatting this fly. I don't mind if it is a database backend or flat-files, but I want something simple to add information to and simple to browse and update. Does anybody have any favorite way to solve this "I'm getting to old to remember where every file is" problem? It doesn't even have to be a DMS per-se, if somebody has a slick way to cut down the time spent playing the "where is that file" game -- that's what I'm looking for. What the ideal would be would be something that used a small database, like sqlite3 to hold the filenames, descriptions, keywords, and tags; quick logic to add all files in a dir matching some simple extension pattern; then most importantly a quick/efficient way to browse the list of files collected and assign descriptions and tags (something like mc - view/edit); along with a quick query interface to find the stuff when your done. It could even be a command line query. So on the wild chance somebody already has a favorite silver-bullet to solve this problem, I thought I'd ask. -- David C.
