Hi Nicolás,
I need SSH support for my raq 4.
Is the package: http://pkgmaster.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-OpenSSH-3.1p1-1.pkg
from pkgmaster.com the best choice ?
It's a good choice by all means. Once you have installed the PKG you might
want to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, though.
The PKGmaster.com OpenSSH version supports both SSH protocol 1 and protocol 2.
The rason for doing so might be that this is the most hassle free approach
for all those Macintosh users around there, which are stuck without a free
OpenSSH client which supports SSH protocol 2.
If you have no Macintosh users with shell access you might want to do away
with SSH protocol 1 and might want to use just protocol 2 instead.
Just cange the top of /etc/ssh/sshd_config to this:
Port 22
Protocol 2
Further down you find the line ...
PermitRootLogin yes
... which you might want to set to
PermitRootLogin no
Aside from that it's smooth sailing. Just make sure to restart SSH after you
change the config file:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
I never used pkgmaster packages before, but I was planning to install
their SSH, MySQL 3.23.37 and Open Mail. Have you had any bad experiences
with those packages ?
No problems at all. Be sure to read the info on the download page. If you plan
to use Openwebmail on a very active server, then you might run into
performance problems. In that case better opt for Neomail, which has fewer
functions but works equally well.
