Does OpenSSH actually have SPARC/Linux binaries? (/me checks...) Since I don't see any architecture info, I assume the RPMs are for x86... So, SPARC/Linux users have to install from source... (Good for my reference...) Georg: Are you running GNU sed? Type "sed --help" to see... If not, reinstall the RPM from your install CD... If so, see if the RPM has been updated in Errata. If this isn't the case, try installing the one from 6.2. I was fairly unimpressed with 6.0/SPARC, myself. 6.2 was slightly better. Maybe them not releasing 7 was a good thing, as it will give them time to figure out the best way to get things working right before the next supported release. Hope I was actually of some help, --Matt> -----Original Message----- > From: mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org [mailto:mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org] > Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2001 10:44 PM > To: Georg Schwarz > Cc: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org > Subject: Re: OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc > > > > > On Sun, 25 Mar 2001, Georg Schwarz wrote: > > > When doing a simple configure of OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on a Sparc running > > RedHat 6.0 I get: > > > > ... > > updating cache ./config.cache > > creating ./config.status > > creating Makefile > > sed: file conftest.s1 line 1: Unknown command: ``^'' > > creating openbsd-compat/Makefile > > sed: file conftest.s1 line 1: Unknown command: ``^'' > > creating ssh_prng_cmds > > sed: file conftest.s1 line 1: Unknown command: ``^'' > > creating config.h > > sed: file conftest.frag line 1: Unknown command: ``%'' > > ... > > > > Did you get this error with any other release?

Ahh...I see now. Sorry about that... Anyway, back to OpenSSH packages on Linux/SPARC: Does anyone have a desire to have packages for this platform? I'm just about done getting my latest SPARC (a SS2 w/ a full 64MB RAM... Anyone know where I can get an SBUS expansion card for more RAM?) online that I was going to use for things exactly like this. (Which my significant other doesn't see the point of, but... "Can't they do it theirselves? How hard can it be?" and all that...) I'm likely going to be running Slackware-Current on it. However, alien should do the trick nicely if I build everything statically, correct? (Slackware because Debian doesn't like my mouse and I dislike RH. No offense intended to anyone.) Or would NetBSD/SPARC be more useful? I'm able to install both... And if this is a desirable thing, can someone give me a place to store the files? I currently don't have a hosting provider. (My web site is only online when I am, in other words...) --Matt> -----Original Message----- > From: mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org [mailto:mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org] > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 11:19 AM > To: Lewandowsky, Matt > Cc: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org > Subject: RE: OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc > > > > > On Tue, 27 Mar 2001, Lewandowsky, Matt wrote: > > > Does OpenSSH actually have SPARC/Linux binaries?

OK. How much longer is 2.5.2p2 projected to be the current version? If not long, I won't go out of my way to make sure I can get *some* working package set up this coming weekend. I'll instead spend it making sure I know every pitfall I may encounter... If it will be around for at least another month or two, then I'll be sure to get something out this weekend... Anyone interested in testing my packages? I'll try to make .deb, .rpm, and Slackware .tgz packages to start. Volunteers for any or all are welcome. ;) --Matt> -----Original Message----- > From: Damien Miller [mailto:djm at mindrot.org] > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 3:39 PM > To: Lewandowsky, Matt > Cc: 'mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org'; openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org > Subject: RE: OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc > > > On Tue, 27 Mar 2001, Lewandowsky, Matt wrote: > > > Ahh...I see now.

Hrmph. OK. Since I haven't downloaded 2.5.2p2 yet (and my work connection's being flaky today...), I'll have to rely on you guys for the answers here: What are the contents of the offending lines in the files? Also, Georg: Do you have the full package of expr, sed, etc. installed? Maybe there's a dependency that isn't there (Doubtful though...). And I have GNU sed 3.02 on Cygwin right now... So, if Cygwin builds for people, then it's either a problem with your sed or your tarball... (Or possibly 2.5.2p2...) --Matt> -----Original Message----- > From: Georg Schwarz [mailto:georg.schwarz at iname.com] > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 1:18 PM > To: Lewandowsky, Matt > Subject: Re: OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc > > > > Does OpenSSH actually have SPARC/Linux binaries?

Matt-- Don't spend too much time on the Debian package, since there already is an official one: ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/pool/non-US/main/o/openssh/ssh_2.5.2p2 -1_sparc.deb It's in the "sid" (testing) distribution, but you can install it on a potato or woody SPARC box with a couple of other upgrades. Debian is pretty consistently up-to-date with OpenSSH across the alpha/arm/i386/powerpc/sparc/mips platforms. IA-64 only has a 2.3.0-p1 package right now, though =8-) --Happy Debian sparc/i386 user Rip Loomis Voice Number: (410) 953-6874 -------------------------------------------------------- Senior Security Engineer Center for Information Security Technology Science Applications International Corporation http://www.cist.saic.com> -----Original Message----- > From: Lewandowsky, Matt [mailto:mattl at livecapital.com] > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 6:52 PM > To: 'Damien Miller'; Lewandowsky, Matt > Cc: 'mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org'; openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org > Subject: RE: OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc > > > OK.

OK. Cool. I have Debian on my box now, but it *really* doesn't like it for some reason... It randomly doesn't boot, it randomly stops responding to the keyboard, it randomly has network problems, and it has NEVER seen my mouse. It's a standard Type 5 mouse, so... But without it, I have no X. :/ So, I'll aim for Slackware packages and RPMs. Are there any compile-time pitfalls between Slackware 7.2 and RedHat I should know?

7.2 is the CURRENT branch. It is the only version available for sparc at the moment. It will probably be kept somewhat up-to-date respecting packages until it ships, but after that who knows? I am installing it tonite and ditching Debian. Maybe when Woody has boot floppies, I will try again. BTW, on ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/sparc/slackware-current/README72.TXT, note the first line: README for Slackware Linux/SPARC 7.2.0. This is in spite of the information at http://www.ultralinux.org/dists.html. So, by providing an RPM and slack pack, we will have versions available for all the distributions on the UltraLinux dists page? --Matt (making mental note to install RH 6.2 as a dual-boot option...)> -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Sindhu [mailto:kevin at tgivan.com] > Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 11:01 AM > To: Lewandowsky, Matt; openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org > Subject: Re: OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc > > > "Lewandowsky, Matt" wrote: > > > > OK.
