http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#tunneling from the TOC is
inactive; http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#cygwin or
http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#windows could be good replacements

the last entry is wrong. The "Tunneling..." link in the left menu TOC should be
changed from http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#tunneling to
http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#HowtoConnect.

I've checked out this file (from www/www/docs/ddSSHGuide.html), and will work
through the links as I go, then will attach the file to this issue. I could not
see the scdocs dir. Did I grab the right file? It seemed like the newest. Please
advise if I should grab a different file?

There's still a bad link, second one up from the bottom, i think, in the list of
further documentation. It connects to a site, but doesn't find content.

maybe http://www.linuxhelp.ca/guides/ssh/ is the replacement link? ... or omit it?

reassigning from www (oops!) to issues@www.

thanks diane!
I'll take it over...

reassigning to louis...

*** Issue 40581 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

thanks diane!
I tried fixing things and then realized the whole document was wretched and needed major updating. 
So I reorganized it and pruned a lot of irrelevant stuff.  It needs a small section on putty: I couldn't get 
it to work last night using an old key as they use a unique format but one which is all the same easy to 
change to OpenSSH format, which is what we use.  

if you would like to review the new doc....

And yeah, scdocs is hidden; only some of the files have been placed where we can access them.
cheers
louis

wow Louis, cool beans!

Here is a tutorial on tunnelling with PuTTY:
http://www.cyberknights.com.au/doc/PuTTY-tunnelling-HOWTO.html

Authored by Leon and assisted by other PLUG members.

we have some very good notes written in the mail archives which could be used to
enhance the ddSSHGuide.html document:

http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=2198

http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=2216

http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=2212

thanks Diane,
Sigh.
I wish then the Documentation project would just rewrite the doc to their satisfaction. :-/
I'll re-address it again.... but at the mo' it's not super high priority.

later
Louis

no worries, Louis... someone will get to it eventually. This makes a good place
to gather more info while folks are thinking about it out loud. We can justify
the edits under the category of continuous process improvement. :) I'm willing
to work at it too, but like you, it will be a bit before I can make time for it.

Willy wrote a tutorial for PuTTY:

It will be best to link my guide from the ddSSHGuide page, since it contains
images (not too big actually), but it's your decision Louis

I'm willing to help if you need too.
Just let me know

Thanks

This faq http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/site_maintainers/003.html
contains the preliminary steps that Jean requested.

Also, a mail message suggests a possible layout and may include more details:

thanks, Willy! I've also added Lindaw to this issue. I'm occupied by other things right now but would like 
to address this issue sooner than later.

Louis

I grabbed a copy of the code via page source, and am working to update this page.

rewrite started; but unfinished. Plan was to Copy&Paste details from FAQs.

I worked on updates to the ddSSHGuide.html by grabbing a copy of the page
source, then editing it. I grabbed the file yesterday, but didn't write that I
grabbed it until this morning. I put several hours into it, so there may be
something useful there, but maybe not too. Meanwhile, Linda has something in the
works too after a discussion with Louis, so we likely are duplicating efforts.
I'm not sure what to do from here, and the way this issue stands helps to
confuse things more, so I've put my stuff on the table and am backing away. :)
Please let me know if or how I can help on this task. There's plenty enough to
do where I can easily redirect myself. I will also act as support if you need
it. I hope it's helpful that I attached my work and not a hindrance. I found it
hard to decide what I should do.

I'm reassigning this to lindaw. :) If that is not ok, send it back to me. At
least this way things will be clear, so we don't have to wonder what we should
do. :) I hope this helps!

Revised PuTTY Section, Added Tunnelling Guide

PuTTY can be used to create SSH Keypair and it worked. Jean Hollis Webber has
prove that (he used PuTTY 0.56 to produce SSH Keypair). I have correct this in
the guide i uploaded.

Also, i clarifies information that i succedded in creating tunneling, not keys
with PuTTY. I also add my guide here.

.

Hi Linda,

Would it be possible for you to tell us what the period means, so that we do not
have to guess how to interpret it?

Thank you!
:)
Diane

Sorry for the (.) post everyone.  I had a computer issue when filling out the
comment section.  I just wanted to add that I am working on the page and should
have a revision out very soon.  My day job has a way of getting in the way
sometimes. ;-)

Linda

adding self so I can track this
louis

I added Willy's fine version. Thanks!! I ought to have done it sooner and assigned it to myself.

Lindaw, are you still working on a version? If so, it may not be that necessary....then again, all good 
things can get better :-)

Thanks
Louis

Adding Willy's version is not the only fix for this page Louis.  The code isn't
correct and the information and steps need to be updated.  I have been unable to
work on this, as the day job tends to get in the way sometimes.  

True. My guide was only for Windows user, not for all platforms.
The documents should be revised on the structure itself

Linda: Can you point what should be updated. Maybe i can help restructuring the
document?

Thanks

reopening.  I'll look at the guide again. From what I can tell, the changes that need to be made are fairly 
minor. If anyone else wants to fix them, be my guest :-)
louis

Since Louis reopened this ticket I am listing him as the owner. 

what exactly needs to be done to this guide to fix it?

There are some broken link : 
- Using the Desktop Terminal which should be pointed to
http://www.openoffice.org/docs/ddSSHGuide.html#usingterminals
- Content which should be pointed to
http://www.openoffice.org/docs/ddSSHGuide.html#mac

both of the reference wasn't there

Willy

Reassigning ticket

I'll take it... :)

beside the broken links, what else should we do to update this document?

ssh guide-latest

comments for the latest version uploaded by louis : 
- Use either Cygwin, which we recommend Cygwin, as it works well, although setup
can sometimes be difficult. --> i think it will be best to remove the sentence
"Use either Cygwin, which" and just say, "We recommend Cygwin... "

- But: Your CVSROOT needs to point to your localhost to use the tunnel. --> as
long you are not in a directory of other CVS repository and do not set a
variable named CVSROOT, it will be empty and it's adequate to make a tunnel to OOo. 

- Shouldn't submitting keys should be done first before creating your first
tunnel connection? SInce it will take few hours/days to confirm this. So, people
that have configured their client should have submitted their public key and
their public key has been processed by support team before they can start tunneling.

I suggest that we make another section, "generating public key" before
"submitting your keys" and then followed by "Tunneling". It will a lot cleaner
for new person who don't know about CVS/tunneling (like i did at the beginning) :D
