Hi Thanks to the forum for solving my issue with sending emails from my b3 (http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4627). I'm now hoping for a bit more help with replacing my b2 with a b3. This time it's NFS which is beating me up. As far as I can tell, I mirrored my b2's NFS setup on the b...

Guys

After a bit more research, I found this Wiki which sorted out my problem:

Great work excito!

Ubi, thanks for your email. The decision to install ssmtp was based on ignorance of the command 'mail'! In summary, therefore: 'D'oh!' Fortunately I'm in the early days of configuring the new b3 to take over my b2's functions so system borkage will be corrected by a reinstallation of the OS. I'll in...

Guys, thanks for your replies. rog I'm reasonably confident with scripting but perhaps I do need more basic help. What I'm looking for is a command I can use in a script to send a message to my email address (gmail). After my post I did find something that worked; ssmtp. This does the trick but, whe...

Hi

Can someone please help me with a problem?

I'd like my b3 to be able to send emails to me when it encounters problems with cronjobs, etc. I've reserved a gmail address for it but now I'm stuck and a trawl of the forum has come up blank.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks, I will give this a try and let you know how I get on.

Is there a way of using these with Bubba 2? I've tried:
but the package is apparently not available

...SSH does not know if the group that the home folder has is only accessible by the user and that it will stay so. If any other user has write permission to the /home/press folder that user can change the /home/press/.ssh folder and hence put its own public key there and then login in as the user ...

The answer, as suggested by ubi, was to change the group mode of my home directory to not-writeable. Even though the group had me as its only member, this was unacceptable. This is a change I made to bubba2's set-up that wasn't wise and I'll be changing it back. Thanks to both of you for pointing me...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm confident that they'll help me get the problem sorted. When I get the chance to try them out (I'm a bit tied up with the five and one-year olds this morning, naturally), I'll report back.

Morning and thanks for so quick a reply, especially today! Yes, relevant lines from auth.log: Dec 25 07:56:47 bubba2 sshd[4831]: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/press Dec 25 07:56:49 bubba2 sshd[4831]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for press from 192.168.0.6 po...

I'm trying to set up bubba2 so that I can log on to it from selected computer accounts without a password using public key authentication. I've created a key pair on the remote computer: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024 and sent it to bubba2: ssh press@bubba2 "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" < ~/....

I hope I understand you right - see if this helps (900 series, at least). Ubuntu-Eee should work as installed. You can drag windows off the top of the screen (and so see the bottom of the window) by holding <Alt> while left clicking and dragging. If it doesn't, see the section 'ubuntueeetweak' at ht...

And what support the new device has for on the fly encryption

Is this not something to do with wget's 2Gb limit?
