I could finally use "putty" as a WindowsNT client. It's a old school command line terminal emulator, so SSH Secure Shell Client is _far_ preferable from an ease of use standpoint. It starts up in a kind of telnet session and then you can open a file transfer session. That all works pretty well compared to entering cryptic commands in putty. Tera Term with the TTSSH extensions seem like they would be alright, but I can't seem to get that combo to work very well. It sort of connects to the SuSE box but then nothing happens or is possible. ---- Um, on the other hand, now my network crashes if I move files from either my Windows or my Macintosh computers to or from my SuSE box using samba or netatalk. The samba/netatalk has been fantastic up to now, so clearly ssh is a suspect. Is there anything about ssh that would keep samba or atalk from running correctly? Basically, it will start to copy or get a file and then the network dies and everything freezes on the transferring computer. I also tried to do a regular ftp from my Macintosh to the SuSE box and that kills the network as well. On my WindowsNT box it's an unusally hard failure which practically locks up the computer. Same on the Mac side. I can however use my ipchains fine without crashing- ie I can surf from the Mac or Windows computers without any problems. It's file transfer that sets off this network death. My messages log seems to reveal nothing. Anything else I can check? ---- In my desperation to get ssh working earlier, I installed both ssh1 and ssh2. Do I need both? I'm starting to think not. Also, if I log in as a user and su to root, is that pretty safe? I'm starting to like the idea of remote administration. Hey, I'm only 20 years too late on that bandwagon! Thanks everyone. I know some of you are laughing that it takes some of us days to do what should only take minutes, so please have a little empathy. -- 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/

Try killing sshd and then do a ftp and see what happens. > ... > In my desperation to get ssh working earlier, I installed both > ssh1 and ssh2. Do I need both? I'm starting to think not. No you don't, the only reason why ssh1 still exist is because AFAIK ssh2 is non-free, but now there is Open SSH which supports ssh2. > Also, if I log in as a user and su to root, is that pretty safe? > I'm starting to like the idea of remote administration.

Yes, so long as you are using ssh. -- ===================================================== One Net to rule them all, One Net to find them, One Net to bring them all, and with Linux bind them. ===================================================== -- 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/
