priv port forwarding over ssh

lmcilwain · 11-14-2004, 08:37 PM

Hello all,

I have been trying to figure out a way to forward some of the priv ports over ssh. I am runing mdk 10 and when I try to do the following command:

sudo ssh \
-L 5902:localhost:5902 \
-L 32:localhost:32 \
-X -C -c blowfish user@host.domain.com

I get prompted with my root password (or so I think) and once I put it in I get the following error:

sendmail: warning: My hostname Fangorn_Forest is not a fully qualified name - set myhostname or mydomain in /etc/postfix/main.cf
postdrop: warning: My hostname Fangorn_Forest is not a fully qualified name - set myhostname or mydomain in /etc/postfix/main.cf
postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory
lmcilwain is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

I don't know where my sudoers file is to be able to fix this... If that is all it takes is an entry there.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

As root run visudo. This will open your sudoer file (the approved way) and allow you to make changes. :wq to save your changes. If you are not familiar with the sudoers file format or how to make changes with visudo either man it or post back.
