Hi, I dare to send you this very small patch that defines LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING for the FreeBSD operating system. The manpage had been unclear about this for a long time, up to 5.x days. Since 6.x, it has been made clearer, and thanks to Ceri Davies who highlighted this feature in OpenSSH, I made this patch. I hope this will reach OpenSSH source tree. This is not a big deal and I would add that, while not directly important for the FreeBSD OS since it doesn't use autotools stuffs, it is for users that don't use the stock OpenSSH provided with FreeBSD. Thanks for your work, keep on ! :-) Best regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org > -------------- next part -------------- Index: configure.ac ==================================================================RCS file: /cvs/openssh/configure.ac,v retrieving revision 1.296 diff -u -p -u -r1.296 configure.ac --- configure.ac 22 Sep 2005 10:19:54 -0000 1.296 +++ configure.ac 4 Oct 2005 21:59:01 -0000 @@ -398,6 +398,7 @@ mips-sony-bsd|mips-sony-newsos4) ;; *-*-freebsd*) check_for_libcrypt_later=1 + AC_DEFINE(LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING, "*") ;; *-*-bsdi*) AC_DEFINE(SETEUID_BREAKS_SETUID)

Which FreeBSD man page(s) document the behaviour? -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
