Are you sure that Dreamhost doesn't support ssh logins? What "certificate stuff" are you referring to?
Yes it does, that was the point I was making.
I simply type "ssh antonaylward.com" and I'm logged in.
I had generated the certificate locally as per the SSH manual, then I 'push' it using 'ssh-copy-id'. Once that's in place all the SSH operations are "automatic login".
As for the use of 'no encryption', see earlier posts.
Yup, once you use ssh you're stuck with full encryption by design, unless you find binary patches or recompile.
Please see my earlier posts. Yes, using ssh -c none antonaylward.com gives me a shh connection without encryption.
BTW, did you disable username/password logins on your Dreamhost account?
Yes.
It's "best practice" for a public facing ssh server. You might also deny connection attempts from all IP's except your own remote client.
no. My home system is with an ISP that assigns IP adress using DHCP. My address changes periodically.
Do you have that level of control with your Dreamhost account?
Yes, but see above.
Do you have a VPS or dedicated server?
I have a 'shared service'. I could have a any of the above and more but it would cost a lot more. I'm mostly concerned with storage and email, and that's what I get and I'm happy.
If so, how do you like it? Can you install your own OS through a KVM/IP connection, or do you have use what they give you?
If I chose to pay for a dedicated virtual machine option they yes to the above and more. lew, I suggest you visit the Dreamhost site and see their offerings. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
