Default Introduction plus SSH login hang question.

Hello ladies and gents,

Im an engineer and it has is becoming apparent that in my in undustry web servers are becoming more necessary for every day use. I have therefore taken on the duty of learning an OS. Having looked around and various flavours of linux etc I have opted to go for Openbsd. The reason being security and the fact that you have to get your hands dirty in order to get things running smoothly and as you want. At the moment I'm reading through the ABSOLUTE OPENBSD book by Michael W Lucas and it's great. I have been looking around for a forum that covers bsd and this seems to fit the bill. There seem to be some very knowledgable characters around and I'm sure If I had the knowledge they did I too would help fledgling users such as myself.

My reason for the post is to introduce myself and let you know what I have done so far having started to study the anatomy of the file structure etc. It really is a baptism of fire for myself and trial and error seem to be the call of the day at the moment. That is until I pick up some second nature command line skills. Please forgive my newbie way of explanations below as I do not work in the industry and only have to pick the slang terms up in time.

Anyway I have

Installed Openbsd 4.6 on an old optiplex gx110 at home it is old but for all intense and purposes I think it is powerful enough for my needs at home.

My topoglogy is as follows

External Firewall (192.168.1.254) - 24port switch - Internal lan (192.168.1.x)
The External firewall acts as a dhcp server for internal lan clients including my bsd box (initially).

Now I have fixed the IP address in bsd with the

/etc/hostname.xl0
inet 192.168.1.64 255.255.255.0 NONE

and set

/etc/mygate
192.168.1.254


I have also changed the default ssh port to 1234 using the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file the computer will not be exposed to the outside world until I'm absolutely sure the box is secure. This will be done using pf but I'm a way off that yet.

Over the last couple of evening I have been using vi for editing although I have installed nano and find it a little easier for the newb that I am.

-----------------------------------------------------

The reason I have been prompted to join a forum is I have an alterior motive (here it comes).

Over the last day or so I have logged into ssh and after typing tin the username and pressing return the command prompt will hang for about 1 minutes then ask for the password. Having typed the password I can the login and get on with whatever it is I wish to do.

My first quaetion would be does anyone have an idea as to why the system would hang like this.

All other scripts are in a default state untouched.

Thanks people

Pico

Default Ok a little further

I'm sure this will engage someone into slapping some sense into me.

I have been playing around a little and it appears that if I put my hostname file into dhcp rather than fixed the ssh login is fluent. When I put it back to my config above it halts on login. I'm sure this is basic so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Below is my dhcp info above is my fixed info (maybe my fixed info has something incorrect).


# dhclient xl0
DHCPDISCOVER on xl0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.254 (00:19:e4:a2:74:29)
DHCPREQUEST on xl0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.1.254 (00:19:e4:a2:74:29)
bound to 192.168.1.64 -- renewal in 43200 seconds.

Talking Fixed it myself

After going through /etc/ with a fine toothed comb I found out it was my

/etc/resolv.conf

I had the name server set to a bogus ip address rather than the firewalls address.

Changed it to the correct on and shazam one working ssh with no hang ups.

I'm happy how far I have got with this system.

Now on to apache I suspect I have a lot of reading to do in order to make sure I have security sewn up although ny default from reading it looks pretty good.

Cheers

Welcome to the forums,

You were definitely on the right track, sshd was blocking while doing reverse DNS lookups.. you can disable it outright in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, by setting UseDNS to no.

As for the difficulty with vi(1), you may have better luck using mg(1).. which is an emacs clone, but ultimately it's worth learning how to use vi.

Good luck.

Default Thanks for the tip BSDfan666

Thanks for the tip BSDfan666.

I will have a look.

All I can say is I'm loving this Openbsd. I have always toyed around with electrical equipment for years and been on computers in various types.

What I can say for Openbsd is the anatomy of file system is great for a logical breakdown of things.

Now I'm looking into cobbling together a pf rule set and hopefully someone can have a look here and give me the nod as to it's integrity.

Then its on to finding some form of native openbsd intrusion detection system like tripwire nut a openbsd flavour. That is of course unless you people don't think one is necessary. It would be great to have most bases covered and getting an audit trail back to potential compromises would be great (of course this is an art in itself).

So many things to do and my weekend is running out very quickly then it's back to the grind. Damn

What I can say though is if you do this for a living it certainly is a full time job because presumably you would have numerous system all running different OS and all suffering from needed patches etc. It makes my head spin just thinking about it . I take my hat off to you all.

Regards

Pico

Recognize that vi(1) is available on virtually all Unix & Unix-like systems. It helps to have some level of fluency.

There are essentially four places for finding out information about pf(4):Hansteen also wrote a book based on this manuscript called The Book of PF. pf(4) has undergone a number of changes since the book was released, so staying with the above four sources is a prudent decision.

It all depends upon your goals & requirements.

I just got two new OpenBSD books I wish I had a year ago: 'The Book of PF' and 'Secure Architectures with OpenBSD'. I'd seriously get my hands on these two if you want get up to speed a lot faster and use a secure X configuration and SSh. I have 'Absolute OpenBSD' I love it I read it from cover to cover all the time hoping I remember important facets of the OBSD OS.

Just got the book of pf tetro very good indeed. I have a bank holiday off now so a little time to read and play. My wife has roped me into digging over the veggie patch though... bummer.

I will look into the secure architectures book sounds good.
