When I use PuTTY to open an SSH session on my LAN, using hostname "bubba", I can connect and authenticate.

But when I try to connect using my Easyfind hostname, I can connect but cannot authenticate.

Code: Select all

login as: jacob

Access denied

It appears that the hostname is attached to my username in this case, and that prevents me from being recognized. How can I fix this?

Hi.

Easyfind is not a true DNS service, it is mearly a tool for finding your bubba and only works with http and https protocols (web).

If you would like to use ssh, first find your IP by using a browser, and typing in your easyfind name, then use the IP-address in the address field to connect to with ssh.

We are investigating the possibility to make easyfind a true DNS name, but at the moment easyfind only supports http and https.

Or you could simply register at dyndns.org or similar dynamic dns service and run aptitude install ddclient and answer the questions asked and you'll be all set.

Makes sense. Thank you.
