  how do i change the sshd default port from 22
Posted by: anyweb - 2004-04-15, 07:05 AM - Forum: Remote Access - Replies (2)


to change the sshd default listening port from 22 to say 6666 do as follows:

 



Code:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

edit the line which reads Port 22 so that it now reads your chosen port number (example below)

#       $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.59 2002/09/25 11:17:16 markus Exp $
                                                                               
# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.
                                                                               
# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
                                                                               
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.
                                                                               
Port 6666




 

save the file and restart sshd

 

now, to connect via ssh to your new listening port do as follows:

 



Code:
ssh www.somedomain.com -p6666




 

 

 

cheers

  how to stop ssh sessions timing out
Posted by: anyweb - 2004-04-15, 07:00 AM - Forum: Remote Access - No Replies


if you connect to another pc via ssh, you may notice that after a period of inactivity, that the ssh session idles and disconnects you (you cannot type anymore in the cosole for example)

 

to get around this, simply edit the following file as below and add the following line to auto ping a packet (keepalive as it were)

 



Code:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

in the file add the following line: ClientAliveInterval 30

example below:-

#       $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.59 2002/09/25 11:17:16 markus Exp $
                                                                               
# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.
                                                                               
# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
                                                                               
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.
                                                                               
Port 22
ClientAliveInterval 30
#Protocol 2,1
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::




 

save ( ESC :wq )

 

and restart your sshd server

 



Code:
service sshd restart




 

cheers

  This is for total linux noobs
Posted by: tek-69 - 2004-04-12, 11:22 AM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - No Replies


ok so ya just downloaded linux cuz you heard all the cool kidz are doin it(hehe), but now youve got this hulking power box that u have no idea how to use. Here's a few trick i picked up so far:

 

1: apt-get : for the true noober this thing is amazing. it helps keep all your killer apps and progs up to date, and make installing new ones alot easier. download the version thats right for your flavor of linux.

 

2: man pages are your best friend. anytime you see a command here at linux-noob or anywhere else for that matter, type man X where X is the command. This brings up the built in help files for 90% of commands. even if you think you know what something does like ls , check the man pages anyway. they will tell you about options u may not have even thought about.

 

3: I have found one of the best way to learn in linux is to do. but sometimes doing can really screw stuff up. the solution? make a directory of dummy files and start playing. something like this:



Code:
mkdir /home/youridnamehere/dummyfilez
cd /home/youridnamehere/dummyfilez
vi dummy
i
blah blah add lots of junk text blah blah
esc
:
wq
cp dummy /home/youridnamehere/dummy2
cp dummy /home/youridnamehere/dummy3
cp dummy /home/youridnamehere/dummy4
cp dummy /home/youridnamehere/dummy5




now you have a bunch of filez you can play with and not worry about screwing up anything to major.

I hope this helps, sometimes a little guidance is all it takes for a noober like us to get started makin magic.

 

have fun,

tek

  Problems installing...
Posted by: Cirelo - 2004-04-10, 01:59 PM - Forum: Compiling - Replies (4)


I am a total Linux noob, and I have been reading help files on how to install programs. So far the best idea I have is that I have to unpack the package, go into the new created folder, and then run: ./configure, make, make install; in that order. I am running into a problem with "make". Here is the problem:

 

[root@jonas xmms-kde-3.1]# make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

 

this has happened with several different programs. Can anyone explain why this is happening? I am running Mandrake 9.2 with the KDE desktop. Thanks!
