- How can I stop getting OPCOM messages from the MultiNet server like: AGENT_ERROR_ROUTINE: CODE=1?
SSH:
- I need to set up the SFTP2 transfer to work from a batch job. I'm not seeing an equivalent to the /PASSWORD qualifier that we were using with normal FTP and the documentation doesn't seem to speak to the issue. Is there a recommended methodology for supplying the password in batch mode? -
- I have enabled SSH in my MultiNet configuration. When trying to create the host master key via the $ MULTINET SSH KEYGEN command, why do I receive the following error message?
- What is the difference between SSH v2 and SSH v1 protocol?
- Which applications can I secure besides Telnet and the R services?
- Which encryption ciphers are supported?
- MultiNet SSH Port Forwarding
- When I do an ls command to some SFTP servers (on UNIX systems), the list of files is not alphabetized, but on others it is. Why?
- Why do I have problems with version numbers (or wildcards for version numbers) when in VMS mode?
- I connected to a system running an earlier version of Process Software's SFTP-SERVER2 and VMS transfer mode was not automatically negotiated.
- Why is the directory from a VMS system presented in UNIX format when VMS transfer mode is not in use?
- Why do the filenames on my VMS system have $ characters in them?
- Why doesn't SFTP2 have a TRANSLATE mode like SCP2 does?
- I am using WinSCP on my PC and it won't work with the VMS system. Why?
- I've enabled the SSH server to do SSH1 but not SSH2 and my attempts to use SFTP fail. Why?
- How do I setup HOST BASED authentication so that any user can SSH without using a password? This is system based authentication rather than user based.
- How can I configure MultiNet's SSH server to ignore requests from addresses which are not in some sort of "approved" list? I can add hosts to the SSH configuration file but it seems that the SSH server doesn't check the client address until *after* it's accepted the client connection. I want it to completely *ignore* such clients.
- Is there a way to identify whether a user's current interactive session is connected via SSH protocol v1 rather than v2 so that a message can be displayed?
- Can you change the port the SSH server listens on?
System Crash:
TELNET:
- Do I need to use the HP software if I want to run
another KDC with MultiNet v5.0?
- What do I need from HP to run MultiNet Kerberos v5.0
Telnet Server and Client?
-
Why do TELNET and FTP take 1 to 2 minutes to connect?
- It seems that
after five or so incoming FTP (or TELNET) connections have been established,
other people can connect, but their sessions 'hang.' Is this a MultiNet
problem?
- How can I
restrict certain services (e.g., TELNET, FTP) to certain cluster nodes?
- I'm using Multinet V5.2 and the accept-hosts on the TELNET service is not working correctly. Addresses on the accept-hosts are not allowed access to the service.
