Re: SSH: remote login returns "invalid user"
Sorry that I didn't make myself clear. I've got two situations: a) my
present sitution in which I communicate between hosts on my local LAN,
b) a future situation (to which I'd like to arrive in a day or so) of
taking a laptop into the field and using ssh to access a home-base
host on the LAN.
In the former case, to ssh one I only need a user account and the
user's password; the the latter case, I have to access the LAN from an
internet server, and this requires both a user account, its password,
and its domain, so that the server knows where to find the LAN on
which the server host is located. I belabor this a bit lest I'm
misunderstanding or missing something fundamental.
For example, my routing table on both machines has the router as their
gateway. Presently my /etc/revolv.conf files simply point to my
router-modem-hub as nameserver. This router-hub-modem has SSH service
enabled.
