[Savannah-hackers] address@hidden: Debian ssh on fencepost]

[Jeff Bailey]

I've been mostly assuming you guys are on system-hackers.  I've been
slowly moving everything over to stock Debian packages.  Do you want
me to do some of these updates on subversions, too?  I don't know if a
good solution to that maximum groups problem ever emerged.

Also, Joel and I were chatting about the possibility of using LDAP
across all of the servers to ease account setup (and to reduce script
uglyness).  Who's the best savannah-ish person to talk to and ask if
this makes sense for you guys too?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

I have switched fencepost to using the Debian ssh packages, and have
changed the config of sshd slightly:

The most interesting part is that libpam-krb5 works fine, and
correctly acquires a ticket upon login.  Note that it only does this
if you authenticate using your kerberos password, not if you use an
ssh key.

The second is that we used to run two instances of sshd, one for all
ip addresses on port 22, and one for 199.232.76.169 on ports 80 and
443.  I now have one sshd covering all of those.  This sshd also
correctly supports ssh2 RSA, ssh2 DSA, and ssh1 RSA connections, with
key and kerberos password support for all.

I went to go update the sysadmin docs with this.
/gd/gnuorg/sysadmin/sysadmin.text says that the canonical source is
/gd/gnuorg/sysadmin/sysadmin.texi - but that file doesn't exist.  Can
someone point me to the right place?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

`Yes, that's true,' admitted Arthur.
