Need some advise. We had a major attack on one of our servers that I could not seem to stop, so we brought it down. I had people fromthe newsgroup inform me it had been rooted. Most of the advise they gave me was over my head (for now). The log files showed I had stopped things, but according to the nasty email from major Universities and the Navy it wasn't as stopped as I thought. I am in the process of trying to move my mrtg and RT stuff over to another server. I am using ssh and scp. I would prefer to copy over whole directories, but so far I can only see how to do files, which worked on a test, but for some reason I get this error when attempting to use scp: scp admin at x.x.x.x:*.* admin at x.x.x.x: server asks for password to admin at host1 IP I enter it, and get the following: You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase. lost connection. If I enter the wrong password, it will give me 2-3 more attempts before it figures I am not going to get it right. If I enter the correct password it gives me the error I mentioned. I have used directory structure when attempting this too e.g admin at x.x.x.x:/usr/local/mrtg/bin/*.* admin at x.x.x.x:/mrtg Any idea how to resolve this? -- Raymond Norton Little Crow Telemedia Network 320-234-0270
