openssh unix dev - May 2003 - Error on Reliant Unix: no controlling terminal

Hi all,

just I tried to upgrade openssh from 3.5p1 to 3.6.1p2 on Reliant Unix 5.45 and
run into this error:

root at soltest: tail /var/adm/log/messages
....
May 23 15:45:28 soltest unix: sshd[4013]: Accepted password for root from
10.128.11.72 port 2624 ssh2
May 23 15:45:28 soltest unix: sshd[4101]: error: setsid: Not owner
May 23 15:45:28 soltest unix: sshd[4101]: error: open /dev/tty failed - could
not set controlling tty: No such device or address

The shell tells me that she has no controlling tty

root at soltest: ps
ps: can't find controlling terminal

root at soltest: bash
bash: no job control in this shell

The configure command was: 

../configure --prefix=/opt/openssh --sysconfdir=/etc --with-privsep-user=sshd
--with-zlib=/usr/local/lib --with-ssl-dir=/home/hendl/openssl-0..9.7b
--with-tcp-wrappers=/home/hendl/tcp_wrappers_7.6 --with-rand-helper
--with-default-path=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/openssh/bin

Does anybody has a solution?

Thanks!

Stephan

Try adding "#define STREAMS_PUSH_ACQUIRES_CTTY 1" to config.h and
recompiling.

Is Reliant a Sys-V derivative?  We might need to to add it to the list of
broken pty implementations.  See [1] for the gory details.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Hi Darren,

thank you - now it works!!!

The System is a

root at soltest: uname -a
ReliantUNIX-N soltest 5.45 B1007 RM400 1/256 R4000

The system is a Sys-V, R4 derivate, similiar to ealier Solaris versions.

Thanks oncemore
Stephan

OK, so Solaris needs it (BTW in -current the define is now called
SSHD_ACQUIRES_CTTY since some Linuxes need it for a different reason),
Reliant (which is *-sni-sysv*, right?) needs it, MP-RAS (is that
*-ncr-sysv*?) needs it.  Any other SysV-based systems need it?

Does the attached patch work?  It should fix Reliant and MP-RAS[1].  Note:
you will need the CVS tree or a recent snapshot[2] to apply it, and you
will need to run "autoreconf" to rebuild configure, then
"./configure &&
make".
