Linux and Unix tutorials for new and seasoned sysadmin
How do I fix this problem on OS X and enable X11 forwarding with ssh command? How do I install XQuartz (X11.app) server on Apple OS X Mountain Lion or Mavericks or Yosemite?
How do I create a host key file to use with my applications as I can not use system defined /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key for non-root account under Linux / Unix / Apple OS X / *BSD operating systems?
How do I install OpenSSH sshd server under Debian GNU/Linux operating systems?
I‘ve a remote Unix server running with OpenSSH remote login service. The openssh is configured for passwordless login using ssh keys. Our ISP allows to boot all Linux servers into the rescue mode. It allow us to bring a server online remotely in order to troubleshoot system problems that would normally only be resolved by an OS Reload (such as accidentally deleting files or wrong firewall configurations blocking ssh access). When server boots into a remote rescue mode I can connect using SSH. They SSH keys will not be the same in the rescue mode so I get key mismatch messages as SSH keys are re-generated on each boot:

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
e1:9b:5c:16:a6:cd:11:10:3a:cd:1b:a2:16:cd:e5:1c.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

How do I ignore OpenSSH hos key checking from my Apple OS X laptop while login using the ssh?
How do I hide ssh number from clients? When I type the following command it displays server version number to end users:
ssh -v server2.example.com OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/vivek/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to server2.example.com [123.x.y.z] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/vivek/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/vivek/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: Checking blacklist file /usr/share/ssh/blacklist.RSA-2048 debug1: Checking blacklist file /etc/ssh/blacklist.RSA-2048 debug1: identity file /home/vivek/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.3 pat OpenSSH_4* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4
