Severn's notepad on random good-to-know Linux things

• The *nix equivalent of Windows' nbtstat is nmblookup, ie nmblookup -A ipaddress... nmblookup is part of Samba (or perhaps smb-client packages, depending on your distribution)
• To have rhosts/shosts ssh work in openssh, the sshd_config must have:
  • IgnoreRhosts no to use ~/.shosts
  • HostBasedAuthentication yes to allow ssh2 shosts
  • The client must be running as root (or SUID root) and the ssh_config must have HostbasedAuthentication yes. Also ssh from server to client once saying yes to accept the key before shosts will work.
