in TMUP 154: Remote Access your Mac Today on Typical Mac User Podcast Forum
HI, George
Again it is me. I followed your podcast on setting up SSH. No problem doing that at work. But at home it is not working. I live in rural area with out cable or dsm. I get internet through a mobile broadband connection. The external IP address I see at my router is different from what I see at "what is my ipaddress.com". The way my ISP provider explained to me is he distributes one external IP address to several house holds. I tried dyndns, noip.com etc. They all point to thereal external ip address but not to the one which is pointing to my routers external ip address. Is there any way I can set up ssh to work with this kind of environment? But some how logme in has no problem reaching my computer. I am looking for alternatives because I want to use SFTP access. Thanks for any help

If you are behind a double network address translation like that then unless your isp helps you then you have no way to allow ssh through.

in Typical Mac User Podcast » TMUP 150: PGP Whole Disk Enryption A to Z Review on Typical Mac User Podcast Forum
Hi, George Once again excellent podcast. I have few questions.
1) What is the main difference between true crypt vs PGF in terms of whole disk encryption.
2) Right now I am using Mac OS x inbuilt sparse image technique. to encrypt o a folder where I keep all my important files like passwords and bank accounts. My understanding is no one can decrypt with out having an access to password for that dmg. If I want to secure onyl one or two fiolders is it ok to continue what I am doing? Or do I need to switch to either true crypt or PGF?
Thanks you once again for the podcast.

Hi Chin,
As I mentioned in the show. PGP can encrypt the OS disk. Truecrypt cannot. Yes for just a few folders an encrypted dmg file which is also what filevault is, can work. Except filevault is meant to be transparent to the user and do the entire home folder.

Hi, George
Everything goes well until keys are created. When I tried to login it says "permission denied(publickey)". But everything works If I revert it to access with passwords instead of keys. I am not sure why It is causing problems with keys. In fact it asks for pass-phrase, I also can see my own banner. But denies access. Is there any criteria for the pass phrase such as number of characters. Mine 79pitha59. I am going to change it gain. Do you see this kind of pass phrase causing problems.
Thank you for your patience.

No that passphrase is not an issue. You must be missing something else fundamental. Something like the authorized_keys file not being in the .ssh subdirectory under the user account you are trying to log in as.

Hi, George
It is me again! I am not able to succeed with keys.
I am not sure wether my earlier message went through or not.
1) On which machines do you create keys? On laptops (clients) or Desktops(servers)? On some tutorials they are instructing to generate keys on laptop and place authorized keys on server. Doesn't it matter as long authorized key is on server and pvt and public keys are on laptop?
2) How do you add more than one authorized keys. Because I want to access my iMac(server) both from my mac book (client) and my mac pro(client) at work. How do i append? Is it just cut and past at the end of first authorized key?
3) Is authorized_keys2 ibetter than authorized_key?
Thanks for any help.

It doesn't matter which machine you create the keys on. The private goes on the laptop the public on the server.
The public and any other public go in the authorized_keys file. yes you can stack them, one per line.
Just use authorized_keys on a mac and you will be fine.

HI, George
I am trying to follow the series to set up on my home mac. I have a couple of questions-
1) Does keys have anything to do with port number and ip address. Can I change port number after generating keys? Same as IP addresses?
2) if we ever install a new operating system on imac at home, do i need to do the whole thing again? If so what about on mac book? Do I need to do thing anything different apart from replacing the id_rsa file?
3) How does my mac book know which key to use, if i am trying to ssh in to two different macs like office imac and home i mac.
4) If I want to use screen sharing, or itunes do i need to make any changes?
Thanks for the great work.

The quick answers.
1. Keys have nothing to do with network settings. The only relationship is private and public keys are a pair that go together.
2. Yes you have to setup software like you would any software if you reloaded your mac. The only difference is as long as you keep your keys somewhere you do not have to make new ones. Just put the public key back. The file on the mac you connect to is called authorized_keys, you copy your public key into that as shown in the video.
3. Because you would tell it which file to use. In this case you would have different private keys named differently instead of one file called id_rsa. If connecting to a mac at work make sure your IT department approves it. Otherwise you may be violating company policy and can risk your job in some places.
4. Yes as linked in the notes itunes sharing is a different process you can read about it on my blog. Screen sharing uses the vnc port 5900.

HI, George
Generally I listened to several podcasts, but rarely comment. But after watching your series on remote login, I am compelled to write - It is simply excellent series. Eventhough I am using ssh and FTPs several years I still learned several new things. Thanks for the podcast.

This is not related to jailbreaking at all. And it is only relevant to applications that are written to sync to their desktop counterparts.

He charges about $80 to $100 . The video of this will be out soon. I like it but it's very subtle. V ery light really. I don't mind that though.
