Well isn't that wonderful news. Hopefully it will work out. New problem. Now SSH is not starting. I rebooted my machine because top showed that system was low on memory. Now SSH is not starting and i dont know what i did. There was some issues with /var/empty/sshd, so I created the path. Now they system won't start.. here is my telnet connection (because no choice tell ssh is working). [root@ns /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start Starting sshd: This platform does not support both privilege separation and compression Compression disabled
This is the correct response at this time. There was an exploit. The fix for the exploit left ssh with no compression at this time.
did you check the config file after updating?

[root@ns /root]# cd /var/empty [root@ns empty]# ls sshd [root@ns empty]# rmdir sshd [root@ns empty]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start Starting sshd: This platform does not support both privilege separation and compression Compression disabled Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty/sshd ERROR!

How do I get SSH back? _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list cobalt-security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
