No one anwered my support ticket YET? Damn.. Yay :) Okay, would putty work for connecting to the console thing? dxtr: yes, but you need to generate a key and send it to support for ssh access on the console server DaCa: I did :/ And yes, he (I don't remember his name) accepted it hope to be cutting mail and web over tomorrow night to my arp box I *think* I got it all config'ed right over the weekend RandalSchwartz: cool, which site(s) ? cd $office stonehenge.com, eventually redcat.com redcat is a pet project of Stonehenge's #1 employee (which weirdly is not me, I'm #2 I think) haha, cool [FBI]: off Hey, up_the_irons Are there any specific settings in PuTTY I should activate to be able to use the console? ? as in to ssh to your vps? (No, I've never used these console stuff before. All the VPS' I had before didn't hav this awesome option) ahh then nope bob^^: no, I mean th vm management thingy ah well you kinda have two options i guess Because I get an error about authentication methods, yadda yadda you can ssh to the box and admin it just like any other but if you want to see what's on it's monitor, you use vnc Well, what did I just send in my public ssh key for? :) or you can do a remote console if you send over your public key to support I did send over my public key :) ok, so putty needs to know where the key is But PuTTY keeps complaining well, duh :) tbh, i don't use putty with keys i use securecrt but if you want keys with putty i think you need pageant too Actually, I don't, but I still use it (at least you used to need pageant) http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/Chapter9.html looks like you still need pageant if you want to use putty + keys pageant just stores the keys, decrypted, in memory or whatever (Just like ssh-agent) But yes, I am using pageant not sure then :) securecrt always works great with keys for me Well I've never had a problem with my keys either And I'm always using keys But.. I don't think my problem is with the key As it complains about how there's no authentication methods available If the server rejected my key it would say so :) this is true i must admit i still haven't actually sent over my key :) dxtr: that means it doesn't even try, did you configure your key under ssh > auth ? DaCa: Yep I would doublecheck, the putty UI isn't particularly intuitive when it comes to saving preferences Well, I've checked both once and twice :) Private key file for authentication: C:\path\to\my\key.ppk Anyone moved to 7.3 with freebsd-update yet? I started at 8.0 I wouldn't do the 7.3 upgrade then :) indeed "we're past that" :) RandalSchwartz: so you're only here until the 1st? thought it was a 3 month-er... well - this run I'll be back two weeks later ah cool basically 50% duty cycle roger so we should meeet up soon since I'm bringing you business :) and even more once I get stonehegne cut over Yes :) do you live in the area? I'll be goofing off mostly this weekend near the hotel I want to show you my cage at the data center; we're wrapping up an expansion deal, to be done on the 15th of Apr. in fact, except for wed night, I think I'll be spending my entire 3 weeks here within a few blocks of the hotel :) RandalSchwartz: i live about 30 miles away from downtown LA RandalSchwartz: which hotel u staying at? maybe thursday after work then? or next tuesday? westin bonaventure *the* hotel :) LOLZ that's true, it is *the* hotel when you absolutely postively can afford to charge it to your employer... :) yeah srsly even at their corporate rate, it's $200/night for that, I should be getting a "massage" each night :) hahaha I bet they charge for every little thing too. at that rate. instead, I'm getting racked for $12.95/night for 1/2 megabit wifi word. :) and yes, capped not just "share" it's capped 12.95$ here at the sheraton in reston, va. why can't they include this? It's not hard, or probably even that costly. it's a profit center they charge $2000/day for something that costs them $100/day it's still stupid. :) I just wish I could have found my evdo card before I left.. or, I could try tunneling out using udp/53 :) yeah, my phone tethers faster I did notice that requests were making it to my name server while I wasn't authenticated just go to make sure not to exceed 5GB/month oooh - IP/dns maybe I should setup openvpn or something on udp 53 :) that's generally not enough yeah it's usually recrusive calls so you need full IP over DNS RandalSchwartz: btw, evenings are bad for me; late morning or lunch time is better. 31st of March is open for me (Wednesday), we could do lunch, or w/e. Or we could set a date in April when you come back (and my cage expansion should be done) doesn't work much yeah - the problem is that I'm working for $client thankfully I'm expensing this.. :) they demand my time I would probably do without internet if I wasn't ah shucks yeah - when I come back I can't i believe there is a small tunnel / vpn proggy made for tunnelling out of port 53 I need something to sleep to. TV doesn't cut it listen to floss weekly. that'll put you to sleep. ;) it's amazing what you can do with socat and ssh RandalSchwartz: is your current isp's site down or something? I can't get to: http://www.sprocketsolutions.com/ jlgaddis: OH SNAP sprocket got merged appliced something now someone bought them? applied solutions maybe the other day i noticed "socat" backwards is "tacos".. am I late to realize this? haha AppServe technologies no, I just notice it too. :) ... http://www.sprocketnetworks.com/ blovett: :) RandalSchwartz: ah, then the link from stonehenge.com is wrong ;) I never noticed that >:) Yeah - I put the link up many years aago it'll be fixed for yours when I move it tomorrow night hehe RandalSchwartz: does stonehenge.com get a lot of traffic? "a lot", heh ... http://www.stonehenge.com/pic/analog/stonehenge/ not a lot 6k/day ah nice in 1999, a lot more :) insert "perl dead, dying" comments hre :) LOL
