SSH Key Management and Troubleshooting on RHEL

SSH Key Management and Troubleshooting on RHEL

Introduction

This tutorial aims to provide a comprehensive guide on managing SSH keys, setting the correct permissions, and troubleshooting common issues on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system.

SSH Key Components

id_rsa and id_rsa.pub

• id_rsa: This is your private key. Keep it secure and never share it.
• id_rsa.pub: This is your public key. You can safely share it with others.

Setting Permissions

.ssh Directory

• Directory Permissions: 700
• Owner: The user who owns the home directory
• Group: Usually the primary group of the user

Commands:

chown username:username ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh

authorized_keys File

• File Permissions: 600

Commands:

chown username:username ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

id_rsa and id_rsa.pub Files

• id_rsa File Permissions: 600
• id_rsa.pub File Permissions: 644

Commands:

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Generating SSH Keys

To generate SSH keys, you can use the ssh-keygen command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Copying Keys to a Remote Server

You can use the ssh-copy-id command to copy your public key to a remote server:

ssh-copy-id username@remote-server

Troubleshooting

SELinux

If you encounter issues, SELinux could be a factor. On RHEL, you may need to set it to Permissive mode.

Commands:

setenforce 0
sestatus

Note: This is not recommended for production systems.

Conclusion

This tutorial should provide you with the knowledge to manage SSH keys effectively on a RHEL system.

Top 15 Linux Commads

Top 15 Linux commands

Introduction:

Linux is a popular operating system used in various industries, including web development, data analysis, and scientific research. One of the reasons why Linux is so widely used is because of the powerful command-line interface it offers. Linux commands are used to interact with the system and perform various tasks, such as file management, network management, and process management. In this blog post, we will discuss the top 15 Linux commands that every user should know.

1. ls:

The "ls" command is used to list the contents of a directory. It is one of the most commonly used commands in Linux. By default, it shows the contents of the current directory. You can also specify a directory path as an argument to list the contents of a specific directory.

2. cd:

The "cd" command is used to change the current working directory. It is used to navigate through the file system. For example, if you want to change the working directory to the "Documents" directory, you can use the command "cd Documents".

3. pwd:

The "pwd" command is used to display the current working directory. It shows the full path of the current directory. This command is helpful when you want to know the current directory path.

4. mkdir:

The "mkdir" command is used to create a new directory. It takes a directory name as an argument and creates a new directory with that name. For example, "mkdir new_directory" will create a new directory named "new_directory" in the current working directory.

5. rmdir:

The "rmdir" command is used to remove an empty directory. It takes a directory name as an argument and removes the directory with that name. For example, "rmdir empty_directory" will remove the "empty_directory" directory if it is empty.

6. rm:

The "rm" command is used to remove files or directories. It takes a file or directory name as an argument and removes it. You can use the "-r" option to remove a directory and its contents recursively. For example, "rm -r directory" will remove the "directory" directory and all its contents.

7. cp:

The "cp" command is used to copy files or directories. It takes two arguments: the source file/directory and the destination file/directory. You can use the "-r" option to copy a directory and its contents recursively. For example, "cp file.txt /path/to/destination" will copy the "file.txt" file to the "/path/to/destination" directory.

8. mv:

The "mv" command is used to move or rename files or directories. It takes two arguments: the source file/directory and the destination file/directory. If the destination is a directory, it moves the source file/directory to that directory. If the destination is a file, it renames the source file/directory to the destination file name. For example, "mv file.txt new_file.txt" will rename the "file.txt" file to "new_file.txt".

9. cat:

The "cat" command is used to concatenate and display the contents of files. It takes one or more file names as arguments and displays their contents. For example, "cat file1.txt file2.txt" will display the contents of "file1.txt" and "file2.txt".

10. grep:

The "grep" command is used to search for a pattern in files. It takes a pattern and one or more file names as arguments and displays the lines that contain the pattern. For example, "grep 'pattern' file.txt" will display the lines that contain the "pattern" in the "file.txt"

 Sweet Tea

 

I've recently have started drinking sweet tea again. It's been a long time. I used to drink it before I was an active member of the LDS church. Now
that I'm drinking it again I feel guilty doing so in front of my family, like I"m doing something so wrong. How could drinking sweet tea possibly be wrong in God's mind or commandments? I know the LDS church just says it's about obedience and it's okay not to question it. But really? Is that not okay to question? Has my life come down to having to justify sweet tea whether or not it pertains to the salvation of my soul or determine where I will be in the after life? Okay so I live in the here and now. That doesn't mean I live for pleasure, but it also doesn't mean I have to deprive myself from simple and non destructive things to my body and mind. Perhaps the amount of caffeine intake should be monitored and not consumed too much. I typically only drink water and orange juice, occasionally a Jamaican ginger ale.
