  • Enabling SSH

    From xqtr@21:1/111 to All on Mon Apr 22 07:43:44 2019
    I installed cryptlib and enabled ssh support for my bbs. The only "weird"
    thing about, is that i have to force the ssh client to use specific
    algorithms. if i give a simple ssh command the connection cant be done, but if i force (linux) ssh program to use an algorithm then its all good.

    syncterm also refuses to connect because it cant find a proper algorithm. Can
    i force synvterm to use one specific?

    is this normal or i miss something?

    thank you.

    I dunno if this helps you, but I had a similar issue, possibly the same but I forget... This is how I solved it.

    In your local computer's (not the bbs server's) ~/.ssh/config file, add this
    to the end (assuming you don't already have a catch all)


    Host *
    SendEnv LANG LC_*
    Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc



    This will obviously force those specified Ciphers onto any host you connect
    to, if they're required then it will use one of them.

    This should fix your terminal issue, SyncTERM however I never had the issue with, whether this edit above also fixed SyncTERM I don't know, but it's
    worth a try none the less.

    Thank you. This obviously is a solution :) I am guessing that will solve the problem with syncterm also. I'll apply it and respond back.

    Ahhh glad it worked ok, you're welcome! Yeah that CryptLib is a good "gotcha" and I also forget it more often than not too =)
