openssh bugs - Sep 2003 - [Bug 703] non-interactive commands fail on solaris 8

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703

           Summary: non-interactive commands fail on solaris 8
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.7.1p1
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: PAM support
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: doke at udel.edu


non-interactive commands fail in PAM tty check on solaris 8.  Not all systems
are affected.  It seems to depend on the system PAM patches.  Problem does not
occur on Solaris 9.

Some PAM modules in Solaris 8 require the tty to be set.  So sshd sets it to 
"ssh".  However, some versions of Solaris 8 PAM require the tty to
begin with
"/dev/".  Changing auth-pam.c to use "/dev/console", or
"/dev/ssh", fixes it.

I wonder if PAM_TTY=/dev/ssh will break any other platforms?   Maybe it should
be inside an #ifdef PAM_SUN_CODEBASE?

(I don't think using /dev/console is a good idea, though.)

Is this patch installed on the affected system?
