feedback about this chapter is appriciated. Thanks!</para>

<para>This works on a &debian; system, so it will work on &debian; and derivatives (&kubuntu; &etc;), though

it should work on other Linuxes as well.
|
|
We assume that you have <link linkend="gloss-ssh">SSH</link> installed, configured and working on
|
|
every machine on LAN you want to connect to/from.
|
|
There are plenty of very good tutorials about <link linkend="gloss-ssh">SSH</link> on the net, ⪚
|
|
at <ulink url="http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch17_:_Secure_Remote_Logins_and_File_Copying">linuxhomenetworking.com</ulink>
|
|
or just google for it. We use the default <link linkend="gloss-ssh">SSH</link> port (22) for this chapter.
|
|
Remember to change it if you use different one. All modifications, editing &etc; must be done as root.

Let's start with installing all the packages we need:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>#</prompt> <userinput><command>apt-get install</command> <option>avahi-daemon libnss-mdns tdednssd</option></userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
Everything is installed, now let's do some configuration. First, we need our services to be announced on LAN.
|
|
That's why we installed avahi-daemon: it represents your machine on local network and allows other applications
|
|
to publish services they provide. Avahi-daemon comes with example <filename>ssh.service</filename> configuration
|
|
file found in <filename>/usr/share/doc/avahi-daemon/examples</filename> . In order to get the service to be
|
|
announced on LAN we need to copy this file to <filename>/etc/avahi/services</filename> directory:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>#</prompt> <userinput><command>cp</command> <option>/usr/share/doc/avahi-daemon/examples/ssh.service /etc/avahi/services</option></userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
Now we need fish:/ protocol to be announced too, so we use an ssh.service file as a template for fish.service:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>#</prompt> <userinput><command>cp</command> <option>/etc/avahi/services/ssh.service /etc/avahi/services/fish.service</option></userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
This file is just a copy of ssh.service, Edit the <filename>fish.service</filename> file and replace
|
|
"Remote Terminal on %h" with "Fish to %h" and "_ssh._tcp" with "_fish._tcp".
|
|
|
|
Here's how it looks after edit:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
|
|
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">

|
|
|
|
<service-group>
|
|
|
|
<name replace-wildcards="yes">FISH to %h</name>
|
|
|
|
<service>
|
|
<type>_fish._tcp</type>
|
|
<port>22</port>
|
|
</service>
|
|
|
|
</service-group>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Save the modified file.
|
|
|
|
Now we need to create a new file <filename>_fish._tcp</filename>, open a text editor and add the next lines:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
Name=FISH Protocol (ssh)
|
|
Type=_fish._tcp
|
|
UserEntry=u
|
|
PathEntry=path
|
|
PasswordEntry=p
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
And save the file <filename>/usr/share/apps/zeroconf/_fish._tcp</filename>
|
|
|
|
Do the same on each machine on your LAN, then restart avahi-daemon:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt># /etc/init.d/</prompt> <userinput><command>avahi-daemon</command> <option>restart</option></userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
Than open &krusader; and type in location-toolbar-lnk: <filename>zeroconf:/</filename> to open the
|
|
<link linkend="gloss-zeroconf">zeroconf</link> connection.
|
|
Enter the <guilabel>Fish Protocol</guilabel> directory. Inside you'll find the links to each machine that
|
|
announced <filename>fish:/</filename> on your LAN, the location-toolbar-lnk: will point to
|
|
<filename>zeroconf:/_fish._tcp</filename> Double clicking on any of these machines,
|
|
them will bring up the password prompt, asking you for yor ssh key passphrase (if password was set).
|
|
Enter your passphrase. Congratulations: you connected to remote machine using &krusader;!
