Dear all, I compiled openssh-3.9p1 against uClibc on linux, and when I logged in to a system using this openssh, the /etc/motd didn't appear. I have checked everyhing, and made some debugging. As I have seen, session.c prepares the environment, and invokes the user's login shell, but before the execv() call, does not flush the stdout. And if I made it do to it, it began to work. I dont know if it is the right solution, or I am doing something wrong. A little patch that puts that fflush in is attached. Please send mail directly me, as I am not subscribed to this list.
