Emerged Fluxbox and SSH wont work now...

robasan · n00b Joined: 07 Dec 2004 Posts: 24 Location: Austin

Ultra2 Creator (dual 300mhz, 768 Ram, 2 x 73gig hd
Stage3 install with sparc-sources, kernel-2.4.28-sparc-r4 (did not compile kernel with base inputs since it cause it to bomb)
Emerged fluxbox...took hours\
When finished, cannot startx or xterm..
Worse, using Putty, ssh, port 22, with /etc/init.d/sshd started (tried stopping, restarting, etc....top command shows sshd running) I try to connect...terminal flashes on screen just fast enough that I cannot see anything...and BAM! it's gone...
Clueless.
Any help appreciated

Yes...I can ssh into another box...192.168.1.113 without any problem. Identical machine running same kernel with same options. the .113 box does not have X or any graphical interface on it save what is necessary and installed by emerging link (links2).
I can ping both boxes ...even the ssh-problem child at 192.168.1.115... don't have ipchains or iptables running?
Now, more clueless.

so, what does `netstat -l --inet -n -p` on failing box say? what is in logs? are you able to do `ssh localhost` from failing host "to itself"?

su to root:
netstat -l --inet -n -p gives the following results:

Active internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Loacal Address Foreign Adddress State PID/Program name

No values are listed at all.

When I type : ssh 192. 168.1.115 results in :
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer.

Hope that helps...

and is your network really running? could you post results of `iptables --list`, `ifconfig -a`?

Thank you for the quick reply...
Here's what I have...
'iptables --list`, `ifconfig -a

iptables --list returns "-bash: ip_tables: command not found"
(tried ip_tables --list .... tried 'iptables--list' and tried 'ip_tables --list')
ifconfig -a returns
eht0: Link encap:E#thernet HWaddr 08:00:20:8F:D1:AD
inet addr:192.168.1.115 Bcaset: 192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

lo and sit0 appear to be fine...I'll post if you like...

I am able to go to yahoo by the following:
links2 http://www.yahoo.com

Additionally, I can log into 192.168.1.115 (the problem child)...then ssh into another machine 192.168.1.113 without problem... From the ssh session into .113, I can ping back to .115

On the .115 machine, I typed again:
netstat -l
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:sh *:* LISTEN

One final thing:
on the kernel config options, I compiled all of the encryption choices into the kernel (a noob thing to do I'm sure...)

Any direction you could give is much appreciated...

Is the ssh keys okay? I mean the ones in /etc/ssh
If not, try to recreate these keys. Of course you need to back up the existing keys first.

I will try...
can you tell me how to recreate the keys?
I'm 2 Noob 2 know...
And the keys are in /etc/ssh/?

This howto maybe handy:
http://www.puddingonline.com/~dave/publications/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/

They keys are in /etc/ssh directory. You may want to tar it first.
