How to setup ssh key based login from SPLAT to another Linux Machine.

How to setup ssh key based login from SPLAT to another Linux Machine.

1) on the linux machine, run "ssh-keygen -t rsa"
2) on the secureplatform, in expert mode:
a) cd /root/.ssh
b) ssh-keygen -t rsa
c) touch authorized_keys
d) chmod 700 authorized_keys
3) copy the id_rsa.pub from the linux machine to the SPLAT machine.
(I had to do this via scp with password FROM the SPLAT box back
to the linux machine).
4) on the spat box, "cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys"
5) modify the sshd_config file on the SPLAT box as follows:
DenyUsers shutdown halt nobody ntp pcap rpm
AllowGroups admin root
6) on the splat box, "service sshd restart"
7) from the linux machine, I can do this:
[root@linux-10g .ssh]# ssh -l root 192.168.1.2
Last login: Mon Feb 21 09:27:25 2005 from 192.168.1.100
[Expert@Checkpoint-cp01]#

Thanks to the firewall-1 mailing list for this helpful tip

Cannot access SecurePlatform through winSCP

Cannot access SecurePlatform through winSCP
Re: cannot access SecurePlatform through winSCP

Once you have created the user, edit /etc/passwd and change "cpshell" to "bash" at the end of the user line. It should look like this:
user1:x:0:0::/home/user1:/bin/bash

Then edit /etc/group and add the user to the appropriated groups, separated with comma:
root:x:0:root,user1

Don´t forget to create /etc/scpusers with the user name, if you want SCP access.

Manually edit SPLAT's routing

[Manually edit SPLAT's routing]
-Edit the file "/etc/sysconfig/netconf.C"
-Note that in pre-R60 versions you edit "/etc/sysconfig/cpnetstart"
instead
-Then run 'cpnetconf load'
-Run 'route -n' to verify that you changes worked
-Alternatively you could instead use the standard Linux route command to
load all of your routes and then run 'cpnetconf store' to save your routes
to /etc/sysconfig/netconf.C (i.e. make them permanent)

The introduction of PHP is a joint effort by IBM and Zend ("The php Company"). Full details of the announcement are online (www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/php.) .......

LCD Or Plasma - What's Your Pleasure

Flat-panel displays are the future of television - whether consumers like them or not is another matter. HDTV, digital convergence, and high-resolution DVD will all have contributed to making CRT TVs obsolete within two years. That's not the case yet, but it is on the way. And if you're tempted to acquire a flat-panel TV, you will need to deal with another issue: the choice between two technologies that are complementary yet very different from one another: plasma and LCD.">Tom's Hardware Guide Displays: LCD Or Plasma - What's Your Pleasure?
