Dear developers, I'd appreciate if you could forward this to the appropriate people doing the non-OpenBSD ports of OpenSSH. Thanks. ------- Begin Forwarded Message ------- Subject: OpenSSH on Ultrix? From: Georg Schwarz <georg.schwarz at iname.com> Newsgroups: comp.unix.ultrix comp.security.unix Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2001 23:06:02 +0100 Has anybody managed to run OpenSSH on DEC Ultrix? I've now managed (after some tweaking) to compile OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 onUltrix, but sshd seems to have problems, probably due to different pty handling: debug1: session_new: init debug1: session_new: session 0 debug1: Allocating pty. debug1: Ignoring unsupported tty mode opcode 12 (0xc) debug1: Ignoring unsupported tty mode opcode 18 (0x12) debug1: Ignoring unsupported tty mode opcode 41 (0x29) debug1: Ignoring unsupported tty mode opcode 60 (0x3c) debug1: Ignoring unsupported tty mode opcode 61 (0x3d) debug1: Received request for X11 forwarding with auth spoofing. debug1: fd 11 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: fd 11 IS O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 0: new [X11 inet listener] debug1: Entering interactive session. error: open /dev/tty failed - could not set controlling tty: No such device or address debug1: fd 5 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: fd 10 IS O_NONBLOCK debug1: server_init_dispatch_13 debug1: server_init_dispatch_15 debug1: Received SIGCHLD. executing commands from remote works fine, as does ssh for outgoing connections. also, how do I prevent the "insufficient entropy" error from occurring from time to time? -- Georg Schwarz http://home.pages.de/~schwarz/ georg.schwarz at iname.com +49 177 2437545 -------- End Forwarded Message -------- -- Georg Schwarz http://home.pages.de/~schwarz/ georg.schwarz at iname.com +49 177 2437545
