openssh unix dev - Jun 2002 - [Bug 289] New: mmap error when trying to use 3.3p1 with privsep

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289

           Summary: mmap error when trying to use 3.3p1 with privsep
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.1p1
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mark.hershenson at aresdirect.com


In order to play with 3.3p1 and privelege separation, I compiled and installed
the OpenSSH source into /usr/local/openssh-3.3p1. I also created the /var/empty
directory and assigned it its proper priveleges, and added the sshd user/group.

I then ran the sshd daemon using:

/usr/local/openssh-3.3p1/sbin/sshd

With the following config file:

===============
#       $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.56 2002/06/20 23:37:12 markus Exp $

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/openssh-3.3p1/bin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.

I try to SSH to that port, and I see this in /var/log/messages:

Jun 24 23:39:31 mallard sshd[26833]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 2200.

2.0
Jun 24 23:39:35 mallard sshd[26839]: fatal: mmap(65536): Invalid argument

If it's on an mmap level, it wouldn't seem a source level bug, not a
misconfiguration, but if I'm wrong, I'd love to find that out. :)

The system is running RedHat 7.0, kernel 2.2.16-22, and runs OpenSSH 3.x just
great!

Any help would be welcome, and any additional information required need only be
asked for.

Thanks!
