right


i have a system

its a gentoo 2004.0 system

i'm tryna ssh into it
and/or X -query %ip% into it..

but it want x - query

and it says ma ssh password is wrong..

but i know its right!!!

there is no way i can get a monitor connected
i can get a k/b connected.


if i booted the cd (blindly)

could i "carefully" type in /etc/init.d/ssh start and
it would start
then i'd ssh init and install from scratch..

is that possible?

In theory, yes that is possible.... but. Might be difficult to pull off.

Why can't you hook up a monitor?

You'd be better off typing /etc/init.d/sshd restart especially if you think its already started.

Your password for ssh, by default, should be the same as your user password. (or root, but its more secure to log in as a user and then su to root)

How did you install if you cannot hook up a monitor or ssh?

try logging in as a normal user, then su

maybe you are deny-ing root to login (removed pts/0 or something to /etc/securetty)

Nearly right mate :wink: - try this:

  • Boot off LiveCD, and give it a few minutes to be sure all is started up OK

  • Type in passwd and press Enter, then very carefully type in a new password, press Enter, re-type password, press Enter again. This is a temporary, LiveCD-only password which will "go away" when you reboot

  • Now type in /etc/init.d/sshd start and press Enter


You will now be able to connect to your machine via SSH - but wait! You don't have to re-install! You can re-set your main root password from an SSH login to the LiveCD!

Do this:
  • SSH to the LiveCD session, and log in
  • Mount your root hard disk e.g. mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
  • chroot into your disk e.g. chroot /mnt/gentoo
  • Do an env-update && source /etc/profile
  • type in passwd and then enter your new root password
  • exit the chroot, and umount /mnt/gentoo
  • reboot, remembering to remove the LiveCD


After the system reboots, you should now be able to SSH into your system using the new root password.

I think X server in Gentoo denies connections from outside by default. Try to run gdmsetup as root and enable network logins.

Try
Code:
xhost +


That will allow ANY host to connect, though... if security is important to you, read some of the documentation for the xhost command.

mm ... if "xhost +" didn't work, "xhost +localhost" wont either. count on it.

I'm not sure what you need to do... I'm going to try thinking about it some more. If anyone does know, feel free to speak up. I'm not too knowledgable with regard to the workings of X

Have you enabled X forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
Code:
X11Forwarding yes

You have to enable that on the server, otherwise it will refuse to forward any X-related stuff to your client. Furthermore, on your client you also have to enable X11 forwarding
Code:
ForwardX11 yes

in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or in $HOME/.ssh/config for per user setting, or use the -X command line option.
