Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I use a cloud applications folder and shortcuts for each. As I recall, the command line is just browser .exe plus website, for example firefox https://google.com in the command line of the launcher. use the browser directory for the working directory, choose an icon (I keep a folder of png icons in ...

I have been using puppy linux with older pc's for about 10 years now. A big issue for me is if it breaks can I fix it. I have found yes you usually can fix it, especially with some kind people in the forums helping you with the bigger issues you can't solve on your own. My other go to fix is to make ...

P.S. yes the X forwarding is already on. I work on film to digital restoration projects sometimes, so my interest in multiple machines is using ssh+x forwarding to run kdenlive and render out finished edited projects on the other computers on my network. Otherwise, its pretty slow going. If things ...

Thank you so much! Huge problem, finally solved after a few days. Wish I'd posted here sooner. You have my gratitude, for real. Didn't think I would be able to fix this, was ready to give up and use linux mint on all my machines but that is so slow once you've gotten used to puppy linux.

, I was ...

Thanks again for your help. so frustrating, seems almost fixed, but not fixed. aaargh...

Spoke too soon. after reboot - Can connect to localhost now! But when I try from another puppy linux machine to connect (ssh ALTOSALPHA2) it
just times out. Do I need to repeat this whole process on every ...

Stil getting errors. 2 days on this so far. very frustrating. ready to give up but I know its close to resolved, sshd seems to be looking for key files or filenames that are not there. I though generating the keys should tell it what the keys are, apparently not. I have no idea whats already using ...

So it appears the issues preventing connection are the keys. I tried several times to generate them as you described. Still getting these errors.
Files in ect/ssh =
/etc/ssh/id_ecdsa
/etc/ssh/id_ecdsa.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key

root# /usr/sbin/sshd -deD ...

I was hoping you were right and it was something dumb like that, apparently not so.

root# ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521
Generating public/private ecdsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_ecdsa): /etc/ssh/id_ecdsa
/etc/ssh/id_ecdsa already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter ...

Thanks for all your help and kind assistance. This is driving me mad. So close now, I think its an issue with the keys.

root# /usr/sbin/sshd -deD
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_7.6, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017

Also I don't see an /var/log/auth file as suggested by some sites and forums discussing this issue, but in messages I found this :

Dec 29 18:22:08 ALTOSALPHA2 user.notice root: /usr/sbin/pkg Repo files updated by 1.9.22
Dec 29 18:23:10 ALTOSALPHA2 auth.err sshd[8120]: error: Bind to port 22 on 192 ...

I copied your file to sshd_config in /ect/ssh


root# ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
root# service ssh status
* sshd is not running
root# service ssh start
* Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could ...

Tried that earlier, get an error message, requires execution with an absolute path. I'm not sure what that means.

root# sshd -D
sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path
root#

Any idea the path or better command to call it from?

Hosts.allow file = ALL: ALLOW

Hosts.deny file = ALL: ALLOW

Does anyone have any insight into why SSHD refuses to run?

Thanks for your help. Seems like no matter what I do, sshd will not start. I think this is just a bad build of ssh server or missing config files or something
important just not there.

root# service ssh start
* Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]
root# service ssh status
* sshd is ...

I am having a hell of a time trying to get ssh to work as a host. Using Ubuntu Bionic 64 on most of my workstations.

Installed openssh client and server. Seems like it works client wise to non puppy machines, but no matter what I try puppy does not want to seem to be a host or allow ssh ...

root# ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
root#

Looks like the ssh server is running but port 22 is blocked. Can someone help me unblock the ports so I can make this work?

I am trying to use ssh and x redirect on my main workstation across the network to run ...

I would prefer to use openssh as it works on all my other machines.

I'm not sure I understand how to make keys. Can't I just use passwords?

Hello,

I am trying to get ssh working with two machines running bionic pup 8.

If I try to connect to other linux machines on the network (A raspberry pi and a linux mint pc) SSH and x redirect works fine on both the puppy machines. In other words they both work fine as client. I am thinking ...
