You can search for packages which contain specified files at "http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages";. In this case, it would have told you that dpkg-reconfigure is part of the debconf package. On Sun, Mar 23, 2003 at 09:57:12AM -0800, Debian User wrote: > Hi, > > I just installed the vanilla

Re: login by ssh fails

I expect that you're running into the default TCP-Wrappers configuration. If this is the case, there are at least 2 ways to resolve the issue. 1) If the remote system has a static IP address, just add an /etc/hosts entry for the box. 2) Edit /etc/hosts.deny, and change the "ALL: PARANOID" entry

I occasionally have a need to connect to my home machine from untrusted systems, so I'm trying to configure ssh to use one-time passwords via libpam-opie. I started by commenting out the auth entry for pam_unix.so in /etc/pam.d/ssh, and adding one for pam_opie.so in it's place. So far so good...
