Looking for some expert advice on this really old system...we're trying to convert it to a VM but it's ridiculously old and unfortunately still needed...It says its Unix System V and NCR 3000 or something...I'm not unix savvy but I can work my way through it.
Anyhow, I tried to do a cold clone of it but it needs a minimum of 264mb of ram, it only has 64mb. In order to do an online conversion, I need to be able to access it via ssh with root, unfortunately it doesn't work.
The only information I have about the ssh on it is that its 3.2.9.1 non-commercial version...I did edit the sshd2_config file to permit root user but I'm still getting access denied. I can login via a user account and it works fine...not sure what the issue is. I also tested out the telnet portion of it by disabling the console option in the default file and I can login via root with telnet so I'm guessing its something with ssh...can anyone offer any assistance? Thanks much!
Yes but only by killing the PID and restarting it manually and I tried rebooting as well...I even put it in verbose mode but it wasn't telling me anything. It's just strange, I can login as a normal user fine and su over to root but root gives me access denied when I attempt it directly.
I think I know what your looking for, but directories are not standard on this machine...here's the contents:
Code:
# cd /etc/ssh2
# ls -la
total 68

drwxrwxr-x 52 root sys 5120 Oct 24 10:48 ..

Unix is the name of an operating system. And unix is a registered trademark. This is what makes things murky.
One of my favorite books is The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System. That book is out of print, but a newer book is available: The Design and Implementation... (0 Replies)
