How to allow root login from one IP address with ssh public keys only

in Categories , , , , , , , last updated June 10, 2017

I am using MacOS on the desktop and Ubuntu Linux on the server. I disabled root login over ssh and enabled ssh based public key login. However, I recently added second Ubuntu server. I need to sync file between two using rsync command. Is there any way that I can log from the second server into my first server with root user from second server IP address only ({root@secondBOX }# ssh root@firstBOX1) without reducing OpenSSH server security option?

X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 Error and Solution

in Categories , , , , last updated March 23, 2014

I am a new Linux server user. I need to tunnel X over ssh. I type the following command from OS X Unix terminal to login into far_away_machine (a centos server):

ssh -X -o options -A -p 22 user@centos-far-away-server

But, I am getting the following error on screen:

X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

How do I fix “X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0” on Linux or Unix-like systems?
