[Bug 464] sshd seems to corrupt the wtmpx
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464 ------- Additional Comments From pas50 at cam.ac.uk 2003-01-09 02:11 ------- This is apparently a bug with compiling in 64 bit. David foster saw this. http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2002-October/004018.html ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
Some how I find this to be very suspect.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464 ------- Additional Comments From mouring at eviladmin.org 2003-01-09 04:46 ------- I really want to know why people are compiling software in 64bit when there is zero logical reason. Nor any physical gain. A lot of 64bit platforms have issues with their [uw]tmp[.] files while crossing from 32bit to 64bit due to alignments and such. However, no one has bother to give me a good reason why the code should be #ifdef/#endif to hell to support a behavior. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

In order to use this faster library, ssh must be compiled 64-bit. -- Carson

In order to use this > faster library,This is not true. If properly configured 32-bit build provides equivalent (if not better performance) than 64-bit builds on most platforms. Probably the only exclusion is x86_64 and only when it comes to PKI operations. If you feel like challenging my statement, define "significantly," "faster" and specify platform. A.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464 ------- Additional Comments From pas50 at cam.ac.uk 2003-01-09 19:29 ------- It is simple laziness. We have applications that require 64 bit. We therefor have to have to libraries compiled in 64 bit. Rather than build two copies of all the libraries we build everything in 64 bit. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
