The usual workflow to connect to a remote machine is as follows:



  1. Log into local machine

  2. Fire up a terminal window

  3. Type "ssh user@r.lan"

  4. Log into remote machine

I want to get rid of the local Log-in, and compress this into a single step. Intended workflow:



  1. Boot the terminal machine (text mode)

  2. The user presented with a tty with login prompt on

  3. User types in it's credentials

  4. The credentials are verified on a remote machine (r.lan)

  5. The user drops into a shell the remote machine (r.lan)

Context: I am designing a simple terminal application, that I want some customers to use. The application should be run from dedicated terminals with minimal hardware. If I run the application locally, I can just change the login shell to point to the application and get the desired workflow (user-auth then directly drop into the app). However, I want this application to reside on a server, and not have the user explicitly interact with the local machine and ssh.

  • It is possible to replace the TTY prompt by a script , which in your case, would issue the SSH command directly,

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
