I've been trying to get it to connect to my github, but keep getting an error.
I think it thinks I'm a different user :( ... (don't ask why i have two similarly named users, i don't even know anymore...)



debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/solarmew/.ssh/id_rsa type -1


because there's definitely a C:Userssolar.sshid_rsa.pub



I can't figure out how to switch or how to get to that file :(

  • Welcome to U&L! Your question doesn't provide enough information to work out what the problem is. How are you attempting to connect to github -- what is the exact command that you run when this message appears? Is there any other output? Does the same identity file work from other machines?

Your Windows "home" directory (e. g. C:UsersYourName) is not your WSL home directory (e. g. /home/yourname). Copy your SSH key from your Windows home into your WSL home and it should work properly.

  • Open your WSL shell, and you will by default be in your home directory. Run the command cp -pr /mnt/c/Users/yourusername/.ssh ./.ssh.

            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
