Hi;
I would like to enable another user to have access to my RH72 box using SSH2 authentication. How do I do this?
TIA,
beno
Well, on your RedHat 7.2 box you have to have the SSH daemon running.
as root try:
(if you haven't already) rhn_register
then:
up2date -i openssh openssh-clients openssh-server
chkconfig --add sshd
edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and make sure there is a line that says "Protocol 2"
that is uncommented, then
service sshd restart
You also need to make sure that if you are running a host based firewall that it
allows incomming connections to port 22.
Try running "iptables-save" or "ipchains-save" and see what the output looks like.
If you think you may have a firewall problem respond back and include the output of
your firewall settings.
Then you need to create a user account for the remote user. try "man useradd"
Then you need to set their password: try "man passwd"
Then you need to tell the remote user what your system's hostname is (or it's IP address)
and you need to tell the remote user what their user name and password are.
The remote user needs to have an SSH client, and they need to know how to use it.
