In reply to: [ssh] Permission denied, please try again

Member

I really do not know what is the issue apart from dumb mistake in password (numlock off, capslock on, different keyboard layout, copy-pasting the password with end-of-line character that should not be there and other silly mistakes).
I sometimes make these myself.

Do you have any firewall (such as ‘fail2ban’ or others) installed? But why would it report failed password? Similarly with changed default SSH port(s).

PS: If you would try to login as ‘root’ (which you do not since the paste contains ‘ami’), more changes are necessary in the file that you have edited – ‘PermitRootLogin’.

Hi,

I want to enable ssh on one of my machines.
I installed openssh-server and started sshd with:
sudo service start ssh
Checked it with:
sudo service status ssh
and it seems to be running fine.

When I try to log in to the the machine, I get the passwd prompt. Upon entering the correct passwd, I get the following error:
Permission denied, please try again.

I try to uncomment:
#PasswordAuthentication yes
in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and restart sshd, but I still get the “Permission denied, please try again” error.

Does anyone know what might cause this?

In reply to: Upgrading antiX – don’ts

Member

Walter Dnes

I may have discovered a new one. I did the Antix install on a Lenovo T400 laptop perched on a chair, and I have to crouch down uncomfortably to type on it. So I got the IP address from ifconfig and ssh’d in to it sitting comfortably at my Gentoo desktop PC to upgrade apps from the install to the latest. I ran “sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade” from an xterm on my desktop. What ccould possibly go wrong?

Part way through writing .jwm the upgrade died, complaining about “SCREEN”. Re-running it from the laptop keyboard also failed, so something was badly screwed up. I eventually gave up, re-installed, and did the upgrade properly from the laptop keyboard. It works OK now.

In reply to: Info on sysvinit vs runit – where can it be found??

Forum Admin

anticapitalista

antiX runit editions provide service files for the following via our own custom-built packages (antiX-22 and antiX-23).
Have a look in /etc/sv. Only ‘essential’ services are running by default (ls -la /etc/service/) and services that are also logging can be seen (as root) in var/log/runit. runit-service-manager should also show you all this information.

acpi-support
anacron
avahi-daemon
bluetooth
connman
cron
cups
dbus
dhclient
various getty-tty
gpm
haveged
ntpsec
rpcbind
rsync
seatd
slimski
udevd
ufw

Debian provides 2 (acpid and ssh).

Once user installs applications, it is 99% certain that a runit service file (/etc/sv) is not provided so user has to create their own if needed.
This is not trivial.
Debian still provides probably 80% of sysVinit startup files if needed (/etc/init.d and symlinks to /etc/rc*).

antiX is not 100% ‘pure’ runit like it is implemented on Void and possibly Artix.
It is very close though due to the work undertaken by me and Xecure since antiX-19.
The benefit of antiX not being 100% pure runit is that users can still use the sysVinit way to start and stop services as @Robin shows in their post (samba IIRC).
We cannot provide runit services for every app. Even Debian with its thousands of devs/helpers/packagers won’t do it even when pressed to do so by the init diversity group. Devuan doesn’t do it either. They just keep to how Debian sets up runit, which is basically just running it as pid1 over syVinit runtime scripts (we did this in our first implementation of runit).

The pipewire example probably wasn’t a good one. I used it as an example to show how writing runit services is not trivial, especially for complex apps like pipewire, samba etc. Does it need a runit service file? Caprea has shown it fdoesn’t. There isn’t an init startup file for it on sysVinit either.
My logic is that if Debian provides an init startup script in /etc/init.d (sysVinit), then you probably need a runit service set up in /etc/sv.

Hope this helps.

Oh, I forgot to mention that as far as I am aware there is no gui runit sevice manager except our own written by Xecure.
Something else: Void, Artix and Devuan do use elogind/libelogind0.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

/var/log is where all logs exist. Directly beneath this directory are multiple logs for slimski, syslog, ufw, user, auth, alternatives, daemon, debug, dpkg, kern, and messages. /var/log/runit contains the following subdirectories.

acpid bluetooth getty-tty3 rsync saned ssh ufw
acpi-support connman getty-ttyS0 rsyslog smartmontools sudo

I’ve updated most of my other systems on my Dell today, so I’m now here with antiX 23 in its current Alpha stage, and I’m going to see if I can successfully use it for most of the remainder of the day. I updated the system, grabbed the stats, then opened the SeaMonkey browser and I’m here now to report the previously grabbed statistics prior to opening the browser.

First you need enable CSS See here and you can find style you what to change.
I also recommend posting your questions in the subreddit FirefoxCSS, it’s a nice community that can help you.

I stopped using Firefox almost a year ago so I can’t really help you

Here some links about CSS that you might find helpful:

All good info.

I stated above to use keys not passwords. Here is a reference on how to setup keys. Once you have a working key, disable *all* passwords logins.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SSH_keys

This method can be used with a local stored key file or a hardware key like yubikey.

In addition, from file:///usr/share/doc/zzzfm/zzzfm-manual-en.html#udevil-and-devmon

Networks and Files

By default, /etc/udevil/udevil.conf is set to permit mounting of only local fileystems and ISO files,
with mounting of networks disallowed. To allow networks and files to be mounted, in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf set:

allowed_types = $KNOWN_FILESYSTEMS, file, cifs, nfs, curlftpfs, sshfs

You may also need to install curlftpfs or ftpfs (ftp://), cifs-utils or smbfs (smb://), and sshfs (ssh://)

Hi, my electricity and antiX-powered PC at work used to have public IP (though it was generally discouraged) and I was strongly advised to
1) run ‘Fail2ban’ service,
2) block SSH root login.

Fail2ban denies access to a remote user after few failed login attempts for a defined period of time.
It was suggested I disable blocking access from localhost, i.e. not to block accessing the PC in the office in case I lock the PC and forget about Caps Lock or keyboard switch and I surpass the threshold of failed login attempts.

I inspected my log at the time and I found a large number of similar attempted connections.
IP’s, examined as @Robin suggested (though a different website was used for that purpose), were from various locations – France, China etc.
I wrote a script to “call” back with some funny user-names and passwords such as “YouNaugthyPerson” “WhyWereYouLoggingToHackingMyPc?”.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Very insightful!

@Robin

For what its worth, ssh is running on all my systems, antix 19 and antix 22 (well, not anymore). I don’t recall actively selecting the service. Could it be another program that needs it? Maybe cloning with Git?
