Interesting about Google Suggest

Interesting about Google Suggest.

Google Suggest - Google

Type ‘google‘ on http://www.google.com, look at the result and it is not based on alphabets. I guess Google Maps is their main focus which show on first result.

Google $

Follow by what? Of course $ but Google have no clue and no suggestion for me.

Google Money
Again, I will focus on ‘money’. Look, Google focus on saving which show on no.2. In fact, we know economy is bad now.

What else?

Google Obama
Yeah! Must be Mr. US president – Barack Obama.

Google Yahoo
Sorry Google – Yahoo deal is OFF.

Google Microsoft
Google and Microsoft merge? No ways!

Google Internet? I think Google Suggest make a big mistake here. Why Internet Explorer?

SSH Remote Access Authentication Tips

My friend was try to setup Linux SSH public key authentication without password and he’s keep getting password prompt. I will not going to go through how to setup SSH public key authentication here and I just would like to share few troubleshoot tips in order to fix the similar problem here:

1. Checking /var/log/messages file
Basically SSH hints are written to “/var/log/messages” file, you should be able to see any error messages here. For an example “Authentication refused: bad ownership or
modes for directory /root cannot set to 775“. Perhaps you’re require to change /root folder permission to make it work (may apply to other /home folder as well).
Type #chmod 755 /root or #chmod 700 /root can solve authentication problem.

2. Permissions
Please make sure you have correct file and folder permission as suggested below.
