OpenSSH in the cluster

T'aint working yet. SSH had a bug in it for a long time where you couldn't access volumes not hosted local to the SSH server. This was theoretically fixed in the sshpt2 patch. Unfortunately, I can't say that it does. SSH, or more specifically sftp, is a big push from on high due to the insecure nature of FTP. FTP-on-Netware is our LAST insecure connection method from off campus; IMAP on titan was the other last one.

Some of the folks in other parts of Campus have had fair sucess I hear. Perhaps its the clustered nature of our environment that changes things. Cluster-volumes aren't 100% the same as normal volumes, and that can throw some software.

SSH-to-Netware doesn't work since NetWare isn't a shell-server. You can try, but all you'll do is spam the console with a failed login attempt and get denied. Sort of like forgetting what machine you're on an attempting to su to root... only you don't own that box. OpenSSH's logging on Netware is more annoying as it spams console and not just the logger screen.

Looking over the ftp log-files I see we have one student who is uploading a webcam image every 5 minute or so. Should that get moved over to sftp, I do NOT want to see each and every sftp connection logged to Console. Do NOT need that.
