RandalSchwartz: might still be 14. :)

b1k3ryd3r: I change my nick a lot
no biggie to me

jlgaddis-sjc: anybody around care to confirm that vnc'ing to their console works fine?
RandalSchwartz: in general?
or recently?
jlgaddis-sjc: within the last 2-3 days, i guess
upgraded kernel and rebooted a few days ago, just tried to hit the console and just get a blank screen
worked fine before upgrade/reboot, but hadn't tried it afterwards until now
RandalSchwartz: odd.
jlgaddis-sjc: i'm sure it's just my vps, but want to confirm... not sure what would cause it to b0rk.
RandalSchwartz: I *have* noticed a need to stop/start the ssh tunnel after a reboot though
for some reason
didn't used to need that
back a year ago. :)
jlgaddis-sjc: i've tried over ssh and not, same thing either way
RandalSchwartz: I don't background my tunnel
ssh -vN
not -f something :)
jlgaddis-sjc: well the connection gets established, the console is usually blanked, just hit enter to get the screen to appear, but that's not working now
RandalSchwartz: weird
jlgaddis-sjc: and i'm in san jose and can't ssh in from $home
RandalSchwartz: I have no idea what that last statement means
I hope I wasn't expected to understand it
jlgaddis-sjc: i have ssh filtered except from a few ip addresses
none of those boxes are within ~2500 miles of me right now =)
RandalSchwartz: how would that affect your console?
your filtering is within your VM, right?
or did you set up something special with ARP?
jlgaddis-sjc: it wouldn't, but i have no other way to get into the vps
iptables in the vps
RandalSchwartz: right... so you should still be able to ssh-tunnel the vnc
jlgaddis-sjc: right
with a b0rked console, though, i can't get in at all
RandalSchwartz: have you tried a reboot?
and watch it during reboot?
the low-level stuff should at least scribble on the console
before your OS takes over
the "press F12 to select boot device" stuff
jlgaddis-sjc: no, i try not to use rebooting as a troubleshooting technique =)
RandalSchwartz: depends on what you need, I guess
if the box is up and running, no biggy
if it's broken, needs fixing. :)
as for sshd, I moved it from 22 to 443, and never ever see ssh probes
no need for ip range reduction
***: Tadaka has quit IRC (Quit: leaving)
jlgaddis-sjc: yeah, i use alternate port numbers or two-factor security at times
all my sites are working so it's not a huge issue, just wanted to ssh in and check something
RandalSchwartz: can you tunnel through home? :)
I have "back to my mac" for that, for example.

jlgaddis-sjc: i could, if the machines weren't powered down at the moment

ifthen: jlgaddis FWIW I was just now able to connect to a login screen for my vps using unencrypted "Chicken" program, a derivitive of ChickenoftheVNC. I was never able to get an SSH tunnel up and running.
Good Luck. Maybe there is a daemon to turn on your Mac :)
b1k3ryd3r: I advise always always tunneling vnc through ssh
-always
toddf: I presume you put your ssh public key into the control panel ...
b1k3ryd3r: yep
toddf: and asked support@ for help wrt why it is not working?
b1k3ryd3r: oh sorry I have no problem with anything
ifthen: b1k is your home machine a unix flavor?
b1k3ryd3r: yep, I use OSX
ifthen: oh
which number?
or cat?
b1k3ryd3r: 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
ifthen: hm
I noticed on my 10.5.8 there was not ssh_config or sshd_config in the ssh dir. Do you have one?
or do you just use the system one?
b1k3ryd3r: ifthen: on my OSX, both the sshd_config and ssh_config are located in /etc/
there is no ssh/ sub dir
oddly enough
RandalSchwartz: I see /etc/sshd_config
b1k3ryd3r: never noticed until now :)
RandalSchwartz: on my snow leopard machine
ifthen: well that's the system standard one i think
b1k3ryd3r: yeh thats strange eh RandalSchwartz
RandalSchwartz: yeah - that's what I'm thining
b1k3ryd3r: I dunno, maybe not
RandalSchwartz: installer's choice. :)
b1k3ryd3r: on FreeBSD it has a ssh sub dir
yah, suppose so
ifthen: well i just put one in and it didn't help or hurt
i still get timed out
Randall I checked your suggestions but no dice yet
btw i have used tcsh for many years as user only but just took the vnc csh out of the box for a try.
going to set up a user with tch
tcsh

ifthen: b1k*, Randal, myself on OSX 10.6.8; it seems to me that a vps on FreeBSD which has its ssh_config and sshd_config in an ssh directory would be confused by these file being in /etc [no ssh directory]. I am thinking of copying those files to a /user/ssh/ directory. I have already put a few variable instantiation commands in one and it hasn't wrecked anything. I just wonder how a non-apple OS can find ssh_config and sshd_config.
b1k3ryd3r: in my personal opinion you are completely barking up the wrong tree, ifthen
ifthen: thanks b1* I am getting desperate and willing to try anything.
I am sick of being timed out.
b1k3ryd3r: I imagine so :(
ifthen: Where is that fruitful tree?
b1k3ryd3r: hehe
if it consoles you at all, ifthen, I time out constantly
if you could see my auth.log it would look like I have an obssession with constantly ssh'ing to my vps
ifthen: Well I am spoiled by my shell provider in Hollywood who never times me out.
And now my own shell kicks me out...
my shell is FreeBSD
b1k3ryd3r: same here
ifthen: Something is the matter
b1k3ryd3r: indeeed
ifthen: I guess it means more time with google. The only solution I saw to this problem was a case where there was a bad setting in Putty that was the problem.
b1k3ryd3r: do you use putty?
ifthen: no I have sworn off microsoft
b1k3ryd3r: ah goods
good
I thought you were using putty on OSX
lol
ifthen: heh i used to use it with ms
b1k3ryd3r: yah
same
then I got on my first *nix shell and was hooked
>_<
ifthen: I think macbooks and a VPS would be a great combination if I could make it happen.
maybe i need a pc-bsd book
b1k3ryd3r: ugh no
haha
FreeBSD make a grreat desktop
ifthen: do you know about PC-BSD the new os?
you get a choice of all the unix desktops
b1k3ryd3r: yah I know it
I used it many moons ago
ifthen: Well it seems to me the macbook display is good enough
But I keep thinking maybe Apple doesn't want to play with FreeBSD
In which case I'm done with Apple.
I don't know if I'm paranoid or ignorant right now.
b1k3ryd3r: about?
ifthen: About apple and bsd
b1k3ryd3r: ah
ifthen: nice chatting b1*
gotta go now
b1k3ryd3r: see ya ifthen
