If I understand what you want to do, you can use the builtin ssh ProxyCommand Let's say you want to connect from your home machine to various machines in the .imag.fr domain, going through sshgate.imag.fr (the only host in imag.fr that is accessible by ssh from the outside). On the home client, make a file called config in your ~/.ssh/ dir. Mine looks something like this: [nico@localhost ~]$ cat ~/.ssh/config Host *.imag User nico ProxyCommand ssh nico(a)sshgate.imag.fr "nc $(basename %h .imag) %p" Then I can type "ssh host1.imag", and it works. It's also fine with sftp, scp, and pretty much anything that runs over ssh. nc has to be installed on sshgate, but it most probably is (might be called netcat). You have to type 2 passwords unless you use ssh key authentication, which you should (at least between home and sshgate). hope this helps. Nico TM

I remember awhile back there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth because updates to tzdata _didn't_ update /etc/localtime. I would hope they would have fixed that by now. Part of our configuration engine makes sure that /etc/localtime is up to date with the appropriate /usr/share/zoneinfo/... file. Dave Thompson UW-Madison

tftp on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi all, I have setup tftp on centos 4 before an it worked. I am not setting up tftp on centos 5. I have added many -v -v -v -v to the tftp config file. /var/log/messages shows me connection from the IP address - but no errors. My client eventually times out as the file is not being provided. It works by the way on localhost, just not from a client. selinux is turned off. I iptables turned off. tftp is running and my files are in /tftpboot everything is read accesss. I did the yum install tftp-server as normal. Nothing is in my hosts.allow and hosts.deny why might my client be timing out... Thanks, Jerry

ssh with proxy?
by Scott Ehrlich 01 Nov '07

What is the recommended way to ssh through a proxy? I've been using putty, compiled from source, as it has a proxy option, but a native option would be very nice. Thanks. Scott

Need a package
by Bob Taylor 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I have rpms for xemacs 21.5.27-8.fc8. I *think* they will work on Centos 5? If not I can get the sources. However, at this point, I have one of those dependency hell problem. I need, for now, libtinfo. Does anyone now what package it is in? Thanks, Bob -- Bob Taylor <bob8221(a)gmail.com>

Wierd Networking Problem
by Shawn Everett 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi Guys, I'm 100% sure this is not a Linux issue but I want a second opinion... I have a Linux server running CentOS. It was been absolutely perfect without any errors or problems. Since Monday it has been unable to send email. It is configured to act as a smart host. All email gets forwarded to smtp.isp.net. The server is on a network behind a firewall completely nat'd. No ports are forwarded to it. telnet smtp.isp.net 25 generates the following: Trying a.b.c.d... Connected to smtp.isp.net. Escape character is '^]'. And then nothing. All other machines can connect to smtp.isp.net 25 without a problem. They also use that host for their outgong mail server. Using links to surf the web has a similar result. It just hangs traceroute and nslookups work correctly. There are no errors anywhere. The network in question has various routing and vlan configurations, proxy servers and such. I tend to suspect they're the problem. They're also not in my control. The firewall does show the Linux box attempting to make SMTP connections but nothing else. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I have not yet rebooted the server. Shawn
