what is running on port 22?
by Mike Wright 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi all, Exploring fc6 and something strange is going on. I can't ssh in. When I enter "ssh -l mike test" I get a login prompt, enter my password, then nothing. If I look at the connection with tcpdump I see that the two hosts are communicating. selinux is disabled. iptables has been stopped. ip6tables has been stopped. Everything in /etc/xinetd.d is set disable = yes. chkconfig --list sshd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off service sshd stop Stopping sshd [OK] service sshd status sshd (pid 2205) is running service sshd stop Stopping sshd [FAILED] service sshd status sshd is stopped service sshd start error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed. Address already in use. OK, so I reboot.... service sshd status sshd (pid2205) is running sshd is set NOT to run on bootup but something is starting it, but whatever it is won't accept the login. aaaargh!! Anybody know what's going on? TIA, Mike Wright

fc6 sshd woes
by Mike Wright 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi all, I'm experiencing authentication delays when ssh'ing into a new fc6 install. This new install is on a network with other fc4 boxes. From the fc6 box to all the others is OK. Between the fc4 boxes is OK. *SSH* into the fc6 box has a delay of 40 to 50 seconds after the password until it gives a prompt. At first I thought it was dns because that's about two dns timeouts, but using sshd in debug mode I see that from the point from when the password is submitted there is a series of 5 pauses, each of about 9 seconds. I've compared the session information between an fc4 box and this fc6 one, and the only difference seems to be that the fc6 box tries several other auth techniques before pam. I note that the /etc/pam.d/sshd files are very different between fc4 and fc6. Any insight greatly appreciated! Thanks, :m)

[FC6, Install Issues] Stop disk checker mid-way
by Arthur Pemberton 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently install Fedora Core 6 on my desktop (Watson) I had intended to write up a review style report...but I got distracted and just enjoyed the whole installation process (I may have ADHD). So seeing as there only six (6) issues in my notes. I'll release them on to the list - a thread per issue. I apologize if anyone sees this as spam. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [FC6, Install Issues] Stop disk checker mid-way Since DVDs images are so widely available , and preferable to those who can, and rather not swap out CDs, it would be nice if it was possible to halt the disk checker (part of the pre-install routines). When I went for my first install attempt I hit check disk since I hadn't yet checked the disk. But I had to abort my first attempt. On the second attempt, I hit check this accidentally. There seemed to have been no obvious way to cancel the test and move on with the installation. With a CD, that's okay I suppose. But scanning the 3+ GB disk takes some time. Peace. Arthur Pemberton -- Fedora Core 6 and proud

FC6 update mystery
by Aaron Konstam 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

This is actually a yum update and automatic system update feature mystery. I have the same problem on FC6 when I for a yum update of try to doe the automatic system update process. The process fails with a message saying it can't find the dependencies necessary for the upgrade. I have repos for core, extras, updates , development, extras development , dries , livna and livna development defined. If the dependencies don't come through these repos where the &%$*^ are they supposed to come from? Especially when you consider that these are updates that the system is offering me . -- ======================================================================= "I changed my headlights the other day.

Build of VMWARE worstation and FC-6 ?
by don fisher 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Has anybody else had a problem building vmware workstation? I receive the following: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. I am confident that I have the correct kernel source loaded. I even went out to kernel source and built a version from the base distribution. I am afraid I do not know what @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE means. Thanks for your help don

Fedora Core 6 Install Problem on dual boot Thinkpad
by bdk＠unb.ca 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Installed Fedora Core 6 on my home machine with not glitches on Monday. Today I tried to install it on my dual boot (FC 5 and Windoz XP) Thinkpad and it got as far as checking the boot loader and said it could not recognize the config. I didn't go any further. I didn't want to get into a state where nothing might boot so I backed out. Any suggestions as to where to look. .....B
