Topic: openssh 3.4 from arvin.dk

[Peter Hollandare]

Our friend Arvin at http://rpms.arvin.dk, has released openssh 3.4. I wonder if someone successfully installed the updates found at : http://rpms.arvin.dk/openssh/rh62/  into a e-smith 4.12 box???

I currently have e-smith 4.12 installed, and if you sucessfully installed these updates, drop me a e-mail at : admin@our.homelinux.net, or replay here.

[Nathan Fowler]

I'm on 4.1.2, I've used many of Troels rpm's, but right now it appears his site is down.  I'll be sure to upgrade and let you know what I find.

[Nathan Fowler]

I am E-Smith 4.1.2

[root@inet01 RPMS]# rpm -Uvh *
error: failed dependencies:

You have to have the updated Kerberos libraries to perform this upgrade.  If you are E-Smith 4.1.2 then download:

ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/6.2/en/os/i386/krb5-configs-1.1.1-28.i386.rpm
ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/6.2/en/os/i386/krb5-libs-1.1.1-28.i386.rpm

At console:
rpm -i krb5-configs-1.1.1-28.i386.rpm --force
rpm -i krb5-libs-1.1.1-28.i386.rpm --force

Then you can rpm -Uvh openssh*

The upgrade after updating kerberos went well.  You are warned that:
libk5crypto.so.3 is needed by fetchmail-5.5.0-3
libk5crypto.so.3 is needed by LPRng-3.6.24-2
libk5crypto.so.3 is needed by mutt-1.2.5i-8.7
libk5crypto.so.3 is needed by pine-4.30-2

libk5crypto.so.3 is needed by samba-client-2.0.7-21ssl
libk5crypto.so.3 is needed by samba-common-2.0.7-21ssl

The new krb5-libs will install libk5crypt.so.5 or something like that, I only use fetchmail so I disregarded the warning.  Fetchmail still works.

Thanks for all help Nathan, you truly rock! - everything went in smoth with these suggests.

[Nathan Fowler]

Anytime man, thanks.

Does this "Arvin" use ES 4.1.2?  I know a lot of people who are sticking with this platform.  It would be nice to centralize updates for 4.1.2 users.

I don't like 5+ versions of esmith.

[Nathan Fowler]

I'm 4.1.2, E-Smith 4.1.2 is based off of RH 6.2, because RH 6.2 is considered old it is very hard to find updated RPMS, Troels Arvin provides current updates to RH 6.2 via RPM, these RPMS are compatible with E-Smith.  I use his RPMS for Apache, OpenSSH, mod_ssh, PHP, etc.  If you are looking for a place for current updates for 4.1.2 I would always check http://rpms.arvin.dk

Hope this helped,
Nathan.

[Howard D]

Cool.  Thanks Nathan!

BTW, I also followed your OpenSSH update and it worked for me too!  Good job.

How do I verify that OpenSSH is working correctly?  What tests do you want me to try?

I did a rpm -qa | grep openssh and it shows the arvin updates.

I also did a ssh 192.168.1.1 to my other server and that worked also.

Thanks!

[Nathan Fowler]

Howard, any time.  If you use putty (http://www.stickit.nu/putty.exe) after connecting you can view the "event log" and get the version information.  Glad it worked well for you and I'm glad I could help.

The last thing that I'm testing right now is my rsync.

before:

rsync -auvz --delete -e ssh $serverip:$maindir $repldir

did a proper rsync of my data.

but now I get this error message:

bash: rsync: command not found
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

So, I'm stumped... it might be SSH compression issues, but I'm not sure...

When I figure it out... I will post back here.

[Howard D]

So.....

I put my brain in forward gear... and I realized that I didn't have rsync installed on the other server!  That's why it kept telling me that bash couldn't find rsync even though it was installed on my first server.

So I installed the RPM onto the other server and presto... perfect, secure hourly syncro's of my data using SSH!

Sorry for the false alarm, Nathan & Peter.   All is well now.

[Nathan Fowler]

Howard, we will abuse you later.

Now I do not use Gnome, in fact no Xserver at all.  Did this install anyway?  How can I tell which version of openssh is in use?

Thanks,

You do not need the openssh-askpass RPM, do not install it.

Sorry guys, I've got a WORTHLESS corporate proxy server here.  Everytime I do a POST action it tells me it failed.  I hit refresh too many times I guess.  Sorry about that guys.
