[YLUG] ssh

[Harry Mills]

Hi Tom,

That guide is really useless. I was having problems and the only way I
have found to connect is to do the following:
# ifdown eth0
# ifconfig eth0 promisc
# wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -D wired -B -d
-c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# dhclient eth0
That gets me online, to get out on ssh or to use irc I need to connect
to the ssh.york.ac.uk server first.
$ ssh abc123 at ssh.york.ac.uk
This is for tunnelling the IRC connection:
$ ssh abc123 at ssh.york.ac.uk -L 1234:irc.freenode.net:6667
Then you can connect to freenode by connecting to the irc server your PC
thinks is running on localhost:1234.

Hope this helps

Harry
