  Couldn't find matching GLX visual

Hi. I fixed the nvidia driver, everything worked good, until I went to windows a while.

When I came back to FC2, I tried to run tuxracer, from a terminal.

  Along side Windows 2k?
Posted by: KnightSlayer - 2004-10-11, 01:07 PM - Forum: Fedora - Replies (2)

I want to install Fedora Core 2 onto my workstation at work. I have an exsisting install of windows 2000, witch I use very much at work, and can not afford to lose any data. Is there any way to install Fedora onto some of the free space. Or to just repartition the free space, while leaving the win 2k install in tact?

  deny root remote login to ssh
Posted by: anyweb - 2004-10-11, 07:29 AM - Forum: Remote Access - Replies (7)


why would you do this ? well everyone knows that 'root' (the username) is the admin of your box, so by denying 'root' remote access to ssh into your box you are making it just a wee bit harder for the hackers to get into your box since now they will have to guess a username on your box.

 

1. As root,

Code:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config




 

2. In there find (or create) a line that reads

 

Quote:# Authentication:#LoginGraceTime 120

PermitRootLogin no

#StrictModes yes
 

The line PermitRootLogin no is the important one. Note there is no # in front of it.

 

3. Once you have made thos changes, save the file (esc then :wq).

 

4. Restart sshd (service sshd restart).

 

With this line root cannot ssh into the box. To become root, ssh in as a normal user then use su - to become root once logged in.

 

cheers

Hello everyone,

 

My name is Mike. I am a computer/technology consultant out of Jacksonville, FL. A co-worker of mine has me interested in linux again. He suggested that I join a forum to get a feel for linux. I will have to bring myself to the "Experienced Tech" level, so I intend on posting on here quite often.

  libSSL symbol problem (kerberos)
Posted by: Guest - 2004-10-08, 12:42 PM - Forum: Fedora - Replies (1)


On my Fedore Core 2 I get the following error when starting up2date:

 



Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 53, in ?
   from OpenSSL import SSL
ImportError: /lib/libssl.so.4: undefined symbol: krb5_cc_get_principal




 

When I try to connect to a FTP site with LFTP, the problem also shows up:



Code:
lftp :~> connect xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:ffff
/lib/libssl.so.4: undefined symbol: krb5_cc_get_principal
connect: ftp - not supported protocol




 

How can I fix this? Install libssl again somehow?

 

This is really very important, if I don't get this to work again, I will have to wipe out my FC2 install and set it up from scratch....

 

I did a "strace up2date" and the phyton command that generates the error message is:

from OpenSSL import SSL
