Here is another good security suggestion for...Dan,<br /><br />Here is another good security suggestion for people. If any uses ssh to access their Linux or OS X systems remotely a good practice is to use ssh public keys vs password authentication. This tutorial is a good place to start it works for both Linux and OS X:<br /><br />https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys<br /><br />A few changes for OS X, not do you have to set these to yes:<br /><br />RSAAuthentication yes<br />PubkeyAuthentication yes<br /><br />You also need to set these to no:<br /><br /># To disable tunneled clear text passwords both PasswordAuthentication and<br /># ChallengeResponseAuthentication must be set to "no".<br />PasswordAuthentication no<br />#PermitEmptyPasswords no<br /><br /># Change to no to disable s/key passwords<br />ChallengeResponseAuthentication no<br /><br />Then to reload sshd in cli just do this:<br />sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist<br /><br />sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist<br /><br />I have verified this works in Yosemite it should work in Tiger or Leopard.<br /><br />regards,<br />rican-linux<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-42722074404895894762014-12-19T19:42:35.545-08:002014-12-19T19:42:35.545-08:00Thanks for this info.

The last bit was something I had vaguely remembered happening too, but I don't think I had done anything about it. Excellent information.<br /><br />(Don't know what happened to my previous comment.)NathanHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530166512148876963noreply@blogger.com
