I've compiled a version of sshd for Linux-Athena that allows you to login
and automatically obtain your Kerberos tickets and AFS tokens, just like a
normal Kerberos telnet session. Now you can use ssh to quickly and easily
login to your Linux-Athena system!
You'll need to download the following RPMs and install them:
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/linux/redhat/i386/ssh-1.2.26-1us.libc5.i386.rpm
http://fusion.mit.edu/Linux/athena-ssh-server-1.2.26-1.i386.rpm
The first RPM package, released by Replay Associates
(http://www.replay.com), generates your server's public/private key pair
and installs general ssh files. If you've already installed the ssh-server
package from Replay, uninstall it (using rpm -e <package>) and then install
my version.
Release notes can be found at the following location:
http://fusion.mit.edu/Linux/README.athena
One limitation of this sshd package is that by default, it allows all users
with a valid Kerberos username/ID to login. In order to restrict user
access, you'll need to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and use the
"AllowUsers" and/or "AllowGroups" fields (see "man sshd" for more details).
Please report any problems or difficulties in getting this to work.
Cheers,
Stanley Hu
