divertimento

i have to build a bugzilla/cvs server for work.

1) i need to install ssh so i can login remotely.

2) install mysql

3) install apache 2

4) install bugzilla.

1) ssh.

i dug out of the closes a working P3 machine
and will do the experiments on this box before
making something reall at work.
here are my notes from the unix cookbook.

Starting and stoping sshd on most rpm based systems
is done at
/etc/init.d/sshd stop
/etc/init.d/sshd start

check out what the rpms for mandrake 10 do
ssh will copy a public key to the client i am
using.

i need to set this up and then login remotely.

ssh -l josburn machinename
will log me in locally
but i need a full domain name to login
locally
ssh hostname
host keys are stored in /etc/ssh

i must generate a host key using
ssh-keygen and this must be done
as root
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

public keys must world-readable but owner writable
mode 644 private keys must abosulte not be anything
but owner readable/writeable mode 600
look up these utils
ssh-agent
ssh-add

as a security measure you would like to ensure that any stray ssh-agent
processes are killed automatically when you log out:
make this entry in you ~/.bash_logout file:
kill $SSH_AGENT_PID

1) i started installing ssh from source
