SSH2 subsystems are a useful convenience feature to predefine remote commands for SSH clients to invoke easily. Subsystems provide a layer of abstraction for defining and invoking the remote commands. A subsystem need not be a separate program; it can invoke a function built into the SSH server itself. SFTP is the most common SSH subsystem that you are going to encounter. For example on Linux distributions, the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config file defines one subsystem, This is the configuration line on Fedora 20: # override default of no subsystems Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server Do not remove or comment out the above line.

This post demonstrates how to obtain root access to the internals of the NetApp Simulate ONTAP virtual machine and discusses certain features of the product. Simulate ONTAP is a fairly complete simulator of the Data ONTAP operating system used in NetApp filers and vservers. It is based on FreeBSD. Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is a property of public-key encryption systems which generate random public keys per session for the purposes of key agreement which are not based on any sort of deterministic algorithm. A compromise of one message cannot lead to the compromise of another message or multiple messages. Twitter, Apache mod_ssh, SSL, TLS, and IPSec all support forward secrecy. According to the referenced Wikipedia article: Forward secrecy is designed to prevent the compromise of a long-term secret key from affecting the confidentiality of past conversations. However, forward secrecy (including perfect forward secrecy) cannot defend against a successful cryptanalysis You may not be aware of it but currently Linux terminal emulators such as xterm only supports 8 colors while those on Apple’s OS X support 256 colors. Now, beginning with Fedora 18, Fedora will also support 256 colors via the xterm-256color terminfo database entry. To see how many colors a terminal supports: $ echo $TERM xterm-256color $ tput colors 256 I have never liked the default colors produced by the –color color option to ls and other utilities and, as a result, have normally removed such aliases from my bash startup scripts. Having 32 times more colors available gives This post shows you have to use expect to automate the generation of SSH keys and the transfer of the public key to the remote system. |
