Hi. I'm using Sarge 2.6.8-3 on PPC and have been trying to get a SSH server set up. I've gone through all the obligatory security measures like changing port numbers, and now I'm trying to get tinyhoneypot installed and working as a secondary measure. But after a few days, I can't get tinyhoneypot to display an interface after test connecting to it via "ssh -p 22 127.0.0.1" I've read all the man files and checked on websites that deal with installing thpot. Through some trial and error, I've gotten thpot to where it will report the date and time of a connection in its log directory, which is set to chown thpot:nogroup and chmod 700, that last as per the configuration file specifics -- since I couldn't find a group with the name "nobody" and running as user "thpot" seems to be a better idea. Since I chose to make it work with plain inetd instead of xinetd, the entry in my inetd.conf file is as follows, to be commented out later: #ssh stream tcp nowait thpot /usr/sbin/thpot thpot ssh Is there any error in there that is preventing the thpot interface from showing up? Should it not be against list etiquette to do so, I'll offer my thanks in advance. This is confusing me. R.
