ssh shell
Hi All,
I am trying to get XP to do an SSH shell to a Linux server. Putty is being a pill (Connection refused). Anyone have a favorite ssh command shell sub for Putty? Many thanks, -T |

Many thanks, -T https://wiki.wireshark.org/SSH "The SSH dissector in Wireshark is functional, dissecting most of the connection setup packets which are not encrypted." Maybe there's a firewall problem ? Have you tested Putty on the customer site, when sitting right next to the Linux server ? To eliminate an infrastructure problem (port forward or whatever). Paul |

Paul And one other thing, before I forget, is there are some protocols on Unix/Linux boxes, that require fully qualified domain names and reverse DNS translation. 1.3.5.7 orange.julius.com Now, if I send a packet, with my source address field of 1.3.5.7, the receiving machine immediately goes to DNS and does a reverse lookup. In this case, the machine (and protocol) knows my symbolic name "orange.julius.com" in this made up example. I used to have problems at work, coming in through the company dialup modem pool, and trying to reach my Unix box, because when the Unix box translated 11.22.33.44 via reverse lookup, there was no mapping. Then the connection was refused (maybe I was using telnet or something). I don't think that's the problem in this case, but that's going to be a bit harder to debug (because the Linux box is figuring this out at its end and you can't observe what it is thinking). If you know your home DNS doesn't have a well known reverse address, then that may be the root case. And that's why, searching for "another Putty" isn't the answer, as it's more likely to be a "local conditions" problem with your setup. Paul |

Many thanks, -T Followup: I am going to have to go back to Telnet inside the network firewall. The customer's XP machine has too many things wrong with it. "sfc /scannow" won't even run. And the last reboot I attempted crashed the computer. So poop. I the mean time, I found a simple SSH shell that is easy as heck to configure and use: SmarTTY. http://smartty.sysprogs.com/ But who knows if it works ... Thank you to all for your tips and suggestions! -T |

Many thanks, -T Follow up: After considerable searching and testing, this is what I found: SmartTTY has a wonderful interface to configure an ssh connection. Problem: the ssh connection does not work. I also tested something called "Terminals". It just stunk. I checked out the ssh client that came with WinSCP and that turned out to be PuTTY. And the SCP section did not work either. Well, now. So I had five XP machines. Two with Remote RDP access. This was because tech support used those two machine and part of what they did was to use PuTTY to the old server. So I tried installing Putty on the other three machines. It worked. Hmmmmm. Some of the problem with one of the machines was that the user never reboots the thing. As it transpired, both the malfunctioning machines had Putty 614 previously installed before upgrading to 70. What I wound up having to do was 1) uninstall 70 2) reinstall 614 3) uninstall 614, answering "yes" to remove everything (70's uninstalled didn't ask) 4) reinstall 70 Then hunt down a bad setting called "Bypass authorization entirely" under the ssh category. This setting is not the default, so tech support must have liked something about it or it worked differently under prior versions. (And this setting did not help anything until I went through the above uninstall rigamarole.) And now everyone worked. I still find PuTTY a pain in the butt to operate. 1) they have a separate program for importing and converting keys (puttygen) 2) the user name is rat packed under - Catagory -- Connection -- Data, making you read every single stinking entry to find it. (It should be in the top menu) 3) under the ssh section, when you browse to your converted key, there is a "Load" button under it. That button is really a start button that runs the shell, meaning you did not go to the top menu and press save, so you lost your setting and have to reenter them again (hopefully you remember to press save in the top menu next time) 4) After pressing "Load" the start menu vanishes. So, you can't exit the shell and change some things. You have to start over. What a pain in the ass. But at least it works. -T |
