[Bug 1235] [PATCH] scp does unnecessary getpwuid(), breaking chroot
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1235 donkishoot at wanadoo.fr changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |donkishoot at wanadoo.fr --- Comment #5 from donkishoot at wanadoo.fr 2009-06-24 23:41:20 --- I have a bug that i think is similar. I'm trying to make a jail for winbind sftp users who must have an only sftp service (no shell). This is the error i found when debugging (i replace scponlyc by bash for the test): ssh usersftp1 at 192.168.2.1 bash-4.0$ chroot . bash-4.0$ ./usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server No user found for uid 10653 Is their a workaround ? I had no problem with this solution on an old Fedora. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.

[Bug 1235] [PATCH] scp does unnecessary getpwuid(), breaking chroot
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1235 --- Comment #6 from Matthijs Kooijman <matthijs at stdin.nl> 2009-06-25 00:26:33 --- (In reply to comment #3)> I don't think this is correct: pwd is used in toremote() too, probably > for remote->remote copies.I just had another peek at the code, you are actually right. When I wrote the patch, I probably missed the fact that pwd is a global variable, and never used remote->remote copies. Perhaps a more proper fix is then a gepwd() function, that uses the global variable as a cache. Something like: struct passwd* getpwd() { if (pwd == NULL) if ((pwd = getpwuid(userid)) == NULL) fatal("unknown user %u", (u_int) userid); return pwd; } Replace the current pwd assignment with: pwd = NULL; userid = getuid() and all the uses of pwd with getpwd(). It's not much of a patch, but I think the above would be all changes needed. This would of course still not allow remote->remote copies on a system without working usernames, but that's certainly a lot better than the current situation. As I've said, we no longer use a setup like this, so I won't be able to provide a full and tested patch. (In reply to comment #5)> Is their a workaround ?The problem is caused because winbind is not running / available inside the chroot. The nss_winbind library is probably not available, and if it was, the socket that it uses to connect to winbind is not available inside the chroot. You could try to fix these things, but I don't think that will be easy. Another solution would be to ensure there is an /etc/passwd file inside the chroot, that at least contains the details of the current user. This you could probably achieve with a shell script, that should be wrapped _around_ scponly (i.e., it should be set as the user's shell and exec scponly at the end). This will probably generate a bunch of passwd files lying around. The best thing you could do to solve this problem, is to try the changes to the code I suggested above, properly test them and submit a proper patch back here. Then you might be able to convince the OpenSSH developers to properly fix this issue once and for all. Good luck! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
